Disconnected Battery: Now Windows Won't Auto-Up

Post by dan425 » Tue May 22, 2012 9:36 pm

Hi all,

I disconnected my battery recently and my windows won't close with the one-touch operation. They'll go down easily, just not back up!

I've tried a few of the suggestions I found on the forum, but can anyone give a definite answer that works?

Thanks, Mac, do you have the definitive solution to resetting windows?

I have tried:

and

http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62834

None of which have worked.

1. Turn ignition on

2. Press and hold window down, when window reaches the bottom hold for further 5 seconds

3. Press and hold window up, when window reaches the top hold for further 5 seconds

4. Release and turn off ignition

5. Done :thumbsup:

Tom.

You may have to repeat the above a few times but it does work.

Thanks Tom, unfortunately I've tried that but to no avail. (I edited my post just as you replied, sorry!)

These silly windows are really beginning to annoy me!

Could you elaborate on this? Reason being I have done this reset on my 08 Coupe but the drivers window won't auto up :headbang: Did it a couple of times as well!

Or try disconnecting then connecting again before doing the reset.

Cheers. Is it possible to do this coding oneself, or does it need some expensive programme or adaptor?

I had the same problem as you after disconnecting the battery, the passenger window rest fine but it took a bloody long time to get the driver side to work. But just repeating the up and down procedure eventually it got the message.
