Windows?
A simple way to start is to list all vacuum devices in your car, and name all that do not work, and windows should not be on the list- they're electric. Vacuum devices (depending on how your car is equipped) could be:
- engine shut-off
- brake booster
- central door locking, including trunk lock
- air conditioning
- cruise control
- climate control (air flaps inside dash that direct air to windshield, floor, etc)
Try to describe how all these are working- full, partial or not at all. A typical example of "partial" is the cruise control- if the car looses speed on a steep hill, but then does not recover to your set speed, the cruise is not getting enough vacuum.
Typically, if one device gets a vacuum leak, it could affect the performance of other devices.
