Had to remove the battery cables. The window comes down when the door is opened but doesn't go back up when its shut. Is there sticky on how to get this to work again or what is the procedure. In the passed it just fixed itself. Not this time.

Look in your Owner's Manual under "Indexing Windows".
Procedure takes --maybe-- 15 secs & you're good to go.

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.

On page 2-18 of your OWNERS MANUAL, it says:

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.

Of course, you have to be INSIDE the car to do this.

If you don't have an Owners Manual, you can get one to read on the internet. Just put in your year model. (2006 Corvette Owners Manual). Get the pdf. version on your computer and save it.

Thanks to all that replied. I found it in the C6 Q&A sticky also.
