Power Windows - 2009
Replaced my battery Saturday in my Vette. In the past my windows would go down about 1/4" when I open the door and role back up when I closed the door. Since I replaced my battery that feature does not work. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done. Don't forget the other window.
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, or 2-18 of the 2011 owner's manual. -JFP

Look up 'window indexing' in the owner's manual. Anytime you replace or disconnect the battery, you need to do the above procedure to reset the indexing feature.

I guess the lesson I learned is, if all else fails read the manual. The Vette is parked this week "this is jaguar week" when I pull the Vette out next week I will try the JFP recommendation.
And pass on my findings.
Thanks guys.
