Default Passenger window won’t roll up

Hi all,
my 2005 corvette passenger window will not go up past a certain point.
i never lost power.

i tried a few techniques with resetting the window by holding the up button for 3 secs, then holding down for at least 3 seconds but that is not helpful because the window does not go up all the way at all. I have not tried disconnecting the battery yet. Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

These cars I pretty finicky about the procedures. I would disconnect the battery, touch the cables together for a few seconds, then reconnect both cables. Follow this procedure exactly: http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/add...5-17-corvettes

If it doesn't work, you probably have a problem with the mechanism and it might be time to pull the door panel and have a look.

Make sure your battery is 12.7 volts when disconnected. Low batteries are also a cause of weird problems.

Bad regulator more than likely

Disconnected the battery like you mentioned, the window was then able to roll up and I was able to complete the window reset process! Thank you so much for your help!
