typical indication of battery going flat. Try resetting the windows by holding the switch in down position until you hear a faint click after the window has bottomed; then run up to close and again listen for the faint click and release. If it continues to be a problem after window reset, - how old is battery? Is it fully charged?

A quality tender, in operation whenever the car is sitting (overnight or longer in my case), is the key to having a trouble free car. These electrical systems are aging out, and put up more resistance than they were designed to have. Keeping the battery at 100% at all times mitigates the effects of the aging on the electrical systems. The alternator alone is not up to the task.

Before I started using the tender the car would intermittently have -fail safe- error messages and other anomalies / gremlins. The tender took care of all those inconveniences. So worth using one for me.
