#1 Interior lights, volts gauge, interior headlamps flicker when I roll windows up and down. Volts gauge low (happened after I installed udp)
I don't have a tuner and it has the stock alternator pulley.
How can I fix this?
#2 Master window switch won't roll down all the way (with double arrows)
and passenger side window sticks up some when rolled down all the way.

You can either put the stock pulleys on until you get a tune which you can then bump the Drive Idle up to 800 rpms or get a tune asap.

I'm having almost these exact same symptoms but I don't have underdrive pulleys

What type of hand held tuner can fix this? Or do I need a custom tune?
FYI, I'm on a budget..........

One that either Mo's or Lidio sells, its the custom performance tune. Somewhere between $380-420 I believe.
Just the fact that it really wakes the car up in the performance aspect is so worth the money.

When I bought the car it had a Lidio tune on it, I still need another tune because of the udp's?
Couldn't I just have someone bump the drive idle speed up?

Do you have a flashed tune or a chip installed? Im assuming its flashed with a sct handheld unit, and im assuming you don't have the handheld sct unit? So now im even wondering guys, if he bought the car flashed, could he buy another tuner and ever upload the stock settings back up? Or does he need to find the sct that was used to flash his car to return it to factory settings?

He will need the original tuner. The tuner is "locked" to the VIN.

I asked did the car have a tuner to come with it, and I was told no? What can I do now?

Buy a new or unlocked tuner and tune. Contact Martyo or Lidio.

I can still use a (unlocked or new tuner) even thought it already has a previous tuner to go along with the VIN of that car?

While this isn't the best of idea's to do long term but if you're killing your battery you can adjust the idle stop screw a little bit, but it will piss off the computer. Just make sure you mark where it is now so when you get a tune you can put the set screw back to the OEM position.
As for the lights getting dim and such when you roll down the windows that is actually kinda normal. Most cars will do that especially if you're cranking all 4. Its a substantial load. But having the idle raised will reduce that significantly.

Yes.... unlocked means it's no longer locked / married to whatever VIN number was in there before, therefore it is a virgin tuner. The new / unlocked / unmarried tuner will not have the stock tune in it. It will think the tune that is in the car now is the stock tune. If you get a tuner from Martyo or Lidio I bet they can load a stock tune in it for you if you supply the correct information.

Ok, looks like I will need to get a handheld tuner.
What about the master window switch not rolling down all the way, Is there a way to correct it? I replaced the OEM one (due to light out) with one I bought online @ Ebay

Probably need to adjust the window.

It sounds like the window is getting stuck. If the switch was bad it wouldn't work at all.
You need to remove the door panel to access the adjustments for the window.

The other switch I replaced it with rolls the window down just fine. The current one I have in is a made in China knock off.
The car only has 36k, motors should be fine.
