Bohn put key in and turn it on until you can roll the window up the way, hold the switch for 2 seconds and it should work again. Any time you battery dies or gets low it will happen driver and passanger. The cars manual will explain it.

Happened to mine too. Just the passengers side. No dead battery, no batterydisconnect. Just did it for the hell of it. Ran through the repair sequence listed in the owners manual and haven't seen it happen since.

I store my stang over the winter months and i found out the hard way that just starting your car up and letting it run does not charge the battery at all. You have to drive it around to keep the charge strong. I invested in a battery tender and love it, i just keep it on there all the time and never have to worry about a dead battery again.

Hey speaking of the windows, has anyone ever had their windows make a loud noise when they go down? Every once in a while it seems like my window hits something or makes a rather loud thunk noise when it goes down. Kinda frightening, I know I've seen someone else with this gripe before.

RE: window raise on door closing failure
Yeah, I get the thunk on occasion.
My battery has been low/dead twice.
1st time I was juuuuust barely cranking over, but started. That was 5 days of not driving. Only the drivers window lost memory.
2nd time, I got 1 crank, then the dreaded, click, click, click. This was 4 days of not driving. The passenger side only lost memory.
Strange.
Now I'm leaving for Lake Tahoe skiing in the morning and the car will sit 6 days. I'm willing to bet I'll have a dead battery and both window lose memory.
