Default "Window not automatically shifting close when door close's"

It started today, maybe the cold weather has something to do with it?

The window shifts down upon pressing door latch to open. It does not shift up after I sit down and close the door.

I have to press the window switch to close it.

whats the deal guys?


thanks

Do the reindex procedure explained in the owners manual. That should fix it.

Re index is your best bet, close the door and hold the window switch in the up position for at least 3 seconds. Have you disconnected your battery recently?

re-index as stated above -- but if have not had the battery disconnected recently, I'd have the battery load tested -- may have dropped voltage during (cold) startup low enough to lose the window programming.

My '06 does the same every so often.. Usually after sitting a long time with battery a bit low. Make sure the battery is charged and re-index just like the guys above said.. Not an uncommon problem with a hanger queen like mine!

Re-index.

Run the window all the way up, release the switch and then hold it up again for 3+ seconds.

The owner's manual is good for most things, but we're almost as good, and usually faster.

I am glad it worked out, just to give you a heads up, I had the same thing happen to me and the fix was to replace the drivers side door pad.

Always a good thing to read the car's owner manual anytime acquiring a new car. Assuming you know how the car is programmed is not good.

When I would get out and close the door the window would do the same thing. I had to go through the passenger side to roll up the drivers window. Also in order for me to get out of the car, I had to roll the drivers window all the way down and use the outside door pad to get out of the car, not much fun in the rain. Either way I am glad your problem is resolved.

I'm having that issue right now. I will try the indexing as well. My car sits and the battery was low. Now I start it everyday for about 20 minutes.

Thanks forum!!

Starting it every day for 20 minutes is a really bad idea. If you start the engine, you should drive it till the oil gets up to temp. Put a battery tender on it and don't start it unless you are going to drive it.
