Default Door Window

I just changed out the battery on my 2007 C6 Z51 and now I have an issue with the door window on the driver's side. When I open the door, the window drops down a 1/2 inch like always, but when I close it the window does not come back up. Anybody know the solution for this?

I'm not really sure it has anything to do with changing out the battery, but it never did that before.

It is from changing 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. Don't forget the other window.

This is called resetting of the window indexing or power window initialize and is in the owner's manual. See page 2-17 of the 2005 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2006 owner’s manual, page 87 of the 2007 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2008 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2009 owner's manual, page 3-18 of the 2010 owner's manual, page 2-18 of the 2011 owner's manual, or page 2-19 for the 2012 owner's manual. -JFP

Hahaha! Thanks Jim! I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't find it in the manual myself, but I am very grateful for your pointer.

The procedure worked as advertised. The passenger door didn't need the treatment. I suspect that the driver's door was open and the passenger door was closed when I actually changed out the battery and interrupted the power.

Thanks again!
