Have you tried resetting the window indexing?

With the engine running and the window down, 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 in the owner's manual.)
You'll need to do this every time the car battery is disconnected, then reconnected.

ALSO,,, if you have a WEAK battery, it will crank and start the engine but,, it can also allow the battery OUTPUT voltage to drop low enough cause all the factory settings and the INDEX to reset. (Ask me how I know this??)

Recharge your battery and take it to AUTOZONE or ADVANCE and have it fully tested for CCA and reserve capacity.

What is the procedure that you are using to reindex your windows???
