Noticed something odd...

I've got a 2002 F-250 and once in a while I would get this strange chiming for seemingly no reason...

Well, I finally figured out what it was: If you are putting both windows up at the same time and they reach the top and you don't pull your fingers away from the buttons immediately, this little light illuminates on the dash and the chimer starts ringing....

Anyone else noticed this??? What's the purpose?

Mine does the same thing. I figured it was just my truck. It chimes and the pic of the car with the 4 doors comes on in the dash. If you are fast enough to take your finger off both switches right as the windows get to the top it wont do it.

It's certainly an interesting "feature"...I have to wonder about the reasoning.

Thanks for the back-up, Rick...I thought I was going mad for a while.

Baja, You are not going mad, but it can be annoying at times.
Matt, Apparently Baja and I paid extra for the "annoying window chimes feature" on our trucks. J/K
