Last week all of sudden my driver side window does not raise back up when you shut the door automatically. When you open the door the window lowers slightly then when you close the door it should raise back up but it stopped working.

Maybe its the fuse, latch or my tints have something to do with it?

u need to index it,, turn the ingnition on but do not start
roll the window all the way up and hold the button up
for 3 sec after the window in all the was up
might have to do it twice

Its fine.

You have to reset it. Try this, Push both buttons (window switches) down and hold for a few seconds after the windows roll all the way down.

Release.

Now, push the buttons up and hold for a few seconds after they rolled all the way up.

Release. Push the buttons UP again for a few seconds again a release.

You should do this with the door closed with you sitting in the car. After the last release, open the door. It should work again. The process is in your manual if you want to reference it, but I just cannot seem to ....oh, index!! I believe its called indexing the windows!

with the assumption that you didn't disconnect the battery, this is a sign of a bad battery or a battery going bad.

This same problem occured on my '08 Z51. It was fixed with a new battery.

Had same problem occur yesterday on my 2008. Read posts, did the fix, and, viola, everything back to normal.

It's because of great info like this thread that I never have regretted for one second joining this forum years ago.

Thanks to the members who contributted to this most useful thread.

All the Best,..JSC...

Its a common Winter problem for us in the North. Battery drains due to not using our babies. This is normal since the computer and other items will use some battery power. When that happens the indexing needs to be reset. It is in the manual, but any of the instructions here will do just fine.

Just to add: Look at other settings on the car like your radio. If your battery went low enough to affect the indexing, I'm certain other stuff needs adjustment; like the radio clock.

You need to get a battery tender (not a charger) if the car will stay idle for extended periods. Get whatever brand you feel comfortable with. I think the Corvette "branded" ones are in the $ 100 range but any good, name brand tender will do the job.

Mine did this last time I forgot to put the battery tender on the car when I let it sit for a bit. When I put the car away the next time I remembered to put on the tender and everything was working fine.

My door would not open from time to time either when I forgot to put on the tender.

Im having a similar issue. Car sometimes will not start on first attempt but starts fine upon second try. I have to do the "window reset" but the battery is at 14.5

My experience too, with 2006 coupe. These members rock!

I disconnected my battery to do some electrical work and I noticed the same issue. I started worrying a bit but I came to the forums and bingo. Every time there is always an answer.

You guys are awesome.

There's also good information like this in the owner's manual.

Thank you guys!

Thank you very much for this (easy) fix. I had just come back from the local dealer, where they addressed the recent recall regarding the front headlights, and they must have disconnected the battery as the clock was at the wrong time and the driver's door window needed to be re-indexed. One would think that the dealer would re-do these couple of things after they reconnected the power.....

It worked! Wow, thank you obzidian very much for the information!

This happened to me yesterday after I disconnected the battery. Just went out to my car after reading how to fix it and viola! Beat sitting around the dealership for what was a three second fix.
