Did You Know - Working Windows (No Key in Ignition)

Something i found out recently that i didn't know about my '97 2.5Tl. For some reason, after pulling into my driveway and turning the car off, i removed the key from the ignition. I then proceeded to roll the rear windows up. To my surprise, all four windows were functional.

In short, if the car was on, shut offed and the key removed, power to the windows still remain until the driver's side door (maybe any door) is opened.

According to the manual (this is for 3.2), the windows will continue to work for 15 minutes after the ignition is turned off, or until a door is opened.

Mine never did.... Even with the stock radio, not that it would matter because the trigger is the same for stock or aftermarket.
