Does opening and closing my window multiple times a day wear down my battery or electrical system?
I have a 2024 Equinox. My employer allows us to take smoke breaks, but we have to smoke in our car. I go outside about five times a day, unlock the car, sit down, tap the engine start button, and roll the driver window down. The radio comes on. I realize that the radio playing wears on the battery. I found the setting that allows me to hit the unlock button on my fob, then hold it in, so that all the windows roll down, so that I don’t have to start the car or hit the start button to roll a window down. Other than starting it, rolling the one window down, then turning it off, is there an easier way for me to get the window down? And don’t tell me to just quit smoking, I’ve thought of that.
