If your windows aren't behaving correctly try this.
Turn ignition on
Push the open window button until the window is open, then keep it presses for 5 seconds longer.
Push the close window button until it is closed, then release.
This should reset the memory on the window. Same procedure for both windows.

Re: Reset the windows
So ... when you press the open window, your window closes? Strange car you have ...sp3ctre wrote:Push the open window button until the window is closed, then keep it presses for 5 seconds longer.

Re: Reset the windows
I am afraid to try this as it may turn on my washing machine or reprogram the garage door opener!

Reset the windows
Hello,
Just adding a post as ive had a fair bit of faff trying to get this to work which i did finally.
My symptoms was passenger side worked fine, top works fine, just driver side manual up didnt work, it would only go manually up in the auto up position. I had a flat batter recently which seems to have caused it.
In the garage, battery tender connected, engine off but ignition on, doors closed.
I tried a few things to no avail:
Auto down, followed by 4 further down pushes in quick succession followed by auto up and hold at the top for over 2 seconds and repeat.
manual down, then auto up and hold for over 2 seconds and repeat
Open hood on the key
close hood with the key in the door
repeat x 2
in mid down position, hold manual up button for a few seconds and repeat in different positions
Eventually what worked for me, having already tried it before was:
Auto-down all the way and hold down for 10 seconds then auto up all the way and hold for 10 seconds, repeat.
Voila, working. I had already done that before with no luck.
Basically keep fiddling until it works.
