Default Door window not automatically creating a seal

After jumping and replacing the battery, my driver door window stopped automatically rolling up to seal the gap. It still works fine otherwise and the passenger door is 100% fine.

Also, one of my rear view mirror lights is permanently on, but very dim. What happened?

Windows need initializing. Hold the window switch up for 3 seconds twice.

Power Window Initialize
After a power reconnect such as
battery replacement, the window
index‐up feature will not function
until the system is initialized.
Once power is restored:
1. Close the door.
2. Raise the window and hold the
switch up for three seconds after
the window is closed.
3. Release the switch, then
hold the switch up again for
three seconds and release.

There's a button on the dash, to the left of the steering wheel. You've indavertantly bumped it getting into or out of the car. We've all done it. It keeps the interior light on. And it is nearly impossible to tell if the button is in the on or off position.

Both issues are resolved. Thank you.

The light switch was not on. That's apparently normal for some LEDs.
