Default Electrical C6 Issues

My windows will not go down, my seat recall does not work and the ‘Security / theft” light of the dash stays on… Any ideas before I let the local dealer squeeze money out of me?

Thanks!

Reboot....disconnect the battery for an hour or so.

Also remember to do the window indexing reset on both windows after reconnecting the battery.

Close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done.

These cars do weird things when the battery voltage gets low.
Possibly time for a new battery.

Thanks for the tips, but I think I found out what was wrong... 'someone' did not close the fuse box correctly and it came undone, fell on top of the exhaust and melted one of the corners of the lid. I should have gotten a new lid one since this one does not protect the fuses against moister anymore. The whole problem went away after I jiggled all the fuses.
Guess what I am buying?
