Default Driver side window sensor

I have an 07 and today the driver side window sensor quit working so the window goes all the way up instead of the 1/4 or so hesitation. Then you can't close the door. Is this a matter of cleaning off a switch in the door area, or back to the dealer?

thanks

Have you had the battery disconnected for any reason? If sounds as if you simply need to re-index the window. As found in your owners manual:

Power Window Initialize
After a power reconnect such as battery replacement, the
window index-up feature will not function until the system
is initialized. Once power is restored, do the following:
1. Close the door.
2. Raise the window by pulling up the switch.
3. Hold the up switch for three seconds after the
window is closed. Release the switch.
4. Hold the up switch again for three seconds and
release.

Check your owners manual under window indexing, it'll tell you what you need to do.
