Power Windows and Engine Sound

[Altoid]

Hi All,

Recently, when I kept my Alto LXi in idling and operated the Power Windows, there was a difference in the sound from the engine like the engine being under strain. Was wondering why? Could anyone throw some light on this?
It is one and a half year old vehicle and had done 12000 kms.

Did you encountered this sound first time ? I mean being a mechanical thing, every time I operate mine. It gives grinding sound but that I can only hear when the engine is off or I am paying extra attention to it.

I never encountered engine being under strain or something. Have you checked your battery (water) ?

No worries
idling , and power window is more load on electrical. which means load on alternator , which is in turn a load on engine.
no worries , just keep driving

This may be off topic but you definitely will feel strain in the movement of the windows when you try to roll multiple windows at the same time.

I personally do not do it. I have seen a few of my friends when they get into the car they press both or maybe even all 4 buttons down together.

I had read in the car manual that this practice should be avoided. one window at a time only.

Hi All,

Thanks for the info, got some peace of mind.

Just some info: I came to know if more than one window is operated at the same time, there is a chance for the fuse to blow. So, make sure that only one is operated at a time.
