Disconnected Battery: Now Windows Won't Auto-Up
- Thread starter dan425

It might be that the switch is knackered, and it's just co-incidence that it has started to play up after your battery disconnection. Is it possible to try swapping the 2 switches and see whether the fault moves with the switch or stays with the window?tom_ekn said:
I tried the resetting many times and many ways but still the drivers side window didn't work. Opened in one touch but didn't go up.
AND THEN: I lowered the drivers side window about 15 cm (to the same level as it goes down when the roof is opening/closing) and closed it. It works now

So try that

Here's how I did it:
1. ignition on (last position before starting but I'm not sure does it really matter...)
2. Press and hold window down. When window reaches the bottom, push the button 3 times (1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant)
3. Press and hold window up. When window reaches the top, pull the button 3 times (1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant)
4. then do the 15 cm lowering and closing as I wrote earlier (actually I tested it again and now I lowered it around 3 cm and it worked, so it propably doesn't matter is it 5 cm or 12 cm
).Good luck

Solved!!!!
Super star! Thank you!
I had tried a few ways of doing the windows reset but this actually worked a treat! I had given up on it as I had tried a few times. Decided to simply close the windows after the third attempt and leave it (not noticing it was fixed!) went to do the window up later on today and realised that it auto upped and that the first stage of the button also worked! Miracle!!
Thank you again! I have a complete car again!

Thanks again to dice. Disconnected my battery and needed to reset the windows and performing the above on the drivers side has fixed both sides auto up and down.
Guys, for future reference I now have this site, by Shipkiller, bookmarked. Procedure 3 seems to work for me
