Window Electrical Gremlin
Anybody else having this problem ??
My 2020 F-350 XL 7.3 CC LB 4x4, Rolled down it's own left and right front windows
as a thunderstorm passed over yesterday afternoon ..
This has happened 2 or 3 times in the past but old Mans syndrome had Me thinking
I left them down ..
Any Ideas ??
Every thing seems to still work correctly ..
Is there some way to pocket dial the key fob to cause this ??
I am going to make an appointment with the dealer, But probably can't get it in for a week or so ..
Thanks for any ideas !!

Unlock, lock or both buttons pushed for 8 to 10 seconds windows stay rolled up ..

Global open windows are enabled from the factory. Press unlock twice and hold on the second press and the windows will drop. If you want to set global close it can be done with forscan.

I've set the panic alarm off more times than I can count with the keys in my pocket, but I've never rolled the windows down. I do know the global down command works though. Thanks for the "keycard" tip, I'm going to try this.

Yes it happened to me with same year, truck, model and engine. Thought someone broke into it the night before when I found the windows down in the morning. Finally figured that I must have hit the button just right in my front pocket. At least it didn’t rain.
Maybe I should get a Glock holster for the key fob.

I keep my key separate on a carabiner clipped to a belt-loop. I've never had an issue in 12-ish years I've owned vehicles with some type of "FOB"
My car is push button start, so I just throw the "FOB" in a lower cargo pocket and forget about it.

For years I have carried my keys on a carabineer hooked to a belt loop. Makes the pants pocket last longer and keeps the keys from clawing my leg and other things. Never had a problem with fob doing weird things to the truck.

Old habits die hard .. Sure like old fashion keys .. Can't pocket dial them ..
Normally used to carry a medium size handful of keys ..
This is only the second truck I've owned that had a FOB .. Did I say I really liked the old style keys !!
I guess they just fit My luddite life style !!
Thanks For The Help !!
I thought I had a lighting storm electrical problem ..
The Forum saved Me alot trouble !!
Thanks Again Steve ..
