Default Window indexing not working

I did a search but couldn't find anything, but could have sworn I have read about this somewhere. I experienced the DBS a couple of days ago and now the windows won't index after I close the doors. Is there a re-learning process for this or is it a "dealer only fix"?

See Manual...there is a process after a power disconnect.

It's in the FAQ section as well as your owner's manual, although you might need the help of the FAQ section to help you find it there.

I think Clem is right about this working, but I don't think you'll find it in the manual. The manual actually says to RAISE the window and hold for an extra 3 seconds, then hold for 3 seconds again.

I guess Clem's method is getting to be one of those "internet legends" that may or may not work.

One more remark like that, Taylor, and I reveal your background as Hooter's only male waiter. I have pictures of you in your Hooter's tank top, so be careful.
