Windows work with no key in???

[Quxote]

I never had any car that did this. All the power windows still operate with no key in the ignition.....this that common or do I have a problem lol

1995 Explorer XLT

It shouldn't, but the ignition cylinder may be worn out. I had a Taurus that I could start, pull the key out, and keep driving.

Hey Joe,

THanks for the reply can you take a look at my questions to you in this thread?
Do these symptoms point to a specific problem.

My 99 XLT works the same way, it acts pretty normal to me. but if you open a door and close it doesn't work anymore.

I just checked mine again...the windows go down with no key with the doors open, closed, open then closed....they basically work all the time

i know that the explorer should, according to the manual, let the windows work for 5 minutes after the vehicle is turned off, and the doors have not been open, that' how it goes..... at least according to my manual...

You are correct.
It is tied to the drivers door, its waiting for you to get out.
What does it do if you hit the lock on the remote while you are inside?
Just thinking.......:
