Default window problems

I took my 05 corvette to work yesterday which was a bad idea since it was raining cats and dogs, anyway I got in the car today and the winows drop as if I was opening the door and then go back up over and over and over again. Does anyone know what the problem could be or has this happened to anyone else?

happened to me once after I had the battery unhooked. Try unhooking the battery with the doors closed and windows up. Leave it for 10 minutes, re-install battery and see if that fixes it.

You may have one of two problems:


1 - You need to re-index your windows by doing the following:

A. Close the door.

B. Raise the window by pulling up the switch.

C. Hold the up switch for three seconds after the
window is closed. Release the switch.

D. Hold the up switch again for three seconds
and release.


(or)


2 - You have a defective Exterior Door Handle Switch.
You can test it by replacing it with the switch from the passenger door - very easy to remove (2 phillips screws).
If it works properly, you simply replace the switch.



You can purchase the Exterior Door Handle Switch
from Gene Culley (GMPartsHouse.com) at this link:

Hope this helps!

I had disconnected my battery to do some work on my car.
Then the driver window would not index,
thanks that 3 second reset did the trick.
