Default Power Window AUTO function

New C5 owner. The power windows work just fine (up/down) with the door switch. However, when the "down" side marked "auto" is pushed momentarily to utilize the "auto" down function, it only moves for as long as I hold the switch. If I press and release (normal cycle for a power switch with "auto" function) the window motion stops. Has anyone else had this issue and know what may be the problem (like a relay somewhere)? THANKS IN ADVANCE...

Very quick push-and-release for Express Down.

Got it! Thanks for the info. It does work with a momentary push. I was trying to use it like my Avalanche and the wife's Caddy. Thought it was broke - but have re-trained the gray matter. Liking this C5 much better than my old 69 & 72 Vettes.

If you double-tap, the window will begin to lower and then quickly stop part way. It is then in a "manual" or "regular" mode, so you can adjust it down or up some more without having to wait for it to go all the way down first.

If you like playing with auto windows, get a Window Valet. Best $100 I ever spent....
