Default Driver's Window Entry

I recently changed the battery on my C-6. Prior to that time, when I opened the driver's door, the driver's window would open slightly and then, when I closed the door, close. Since replacing the battery, it opens slightly, but does not automatically close.

Any suggestions?

Amazing how many times this gets asked here and probably one of the most simple fixes there is on these cars.

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.
Remember to do both windows.

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 of the 2012 owner's manual.

Thanks each - especially Sunnydale Dave. I followed your easy instructions and, of course, it worked. I suspect I should have checked for the answer from earlier posts, but frankly, thought this was unusual and didn't bother.

PS - I also posted re the "auto" low beam relay tripping all the time - thought I have low beams via the column stick. Any thoughts on that one?

Again, I've pulled the fuse box out - separated the two pieces (what a pain) and checked all the ciruitry associated with the box and there were no broken welds/solders. Would like to use the Auto feature for the low beams, but the relays (two now) just trip almost immediately.
