Default Problem with Window Feature

Recently replaced my battery. Now I found that my window will drop when I open the doors, but won't go up when I close them. Anybody else encounter this?

I know there's a way to reset the automatic window-raising functionality. I'm not sure what it is off the top of my head. I definitely read it on these forums though.

I recently had this same thing occur when my battery died. Without going out to get the owners manual I think this the way I did it. Press the button for the window to go down and with the door closed hold the up button until the window goes all the way back up.

The motor can be de-initialized in 2 ways:
Disconnect the battery cable from the battery while the window is operating.
Remove the window motor fuse while the window is operating.
After the motor has been de-initialized, reconnect/reinstall the battery cable or fuse and carry out the initialization procedure.
Initialization


WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and cannot detect objects in its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: If this procedure is only partially completed, the front window motor remains non-initialized and may allow one-touch down operation, but does NOT allow one-touch up operation.

NOTE: The door MUST be closed during this procedure (for convertibles, the top and quarter glass must be in the CLOSED and UP position) in order for the door window motor to initialize.

NOTE: The windows must be in the full OPEN position for this procedure to operate correctly.

Press and hold the window control switch in the UP position at the second detent until the window glass stalls into the glass top run for at least 2 seconds.
Once the top run is reached, hold the window control switch in the DOWN position at the second detent until the window glass stalls at the bottom of its travel for at least 2 seconds.
Cycle the window glass up and down once more to set the window soft stop for the DOWN position.
Test for correct window operation by carrying out the one-touch up and one-touch down features.

It's all in the Owners Manual.

Yep, the owners manual is quite a nice piece of toilet reading material.
I wonder if NASA has a forum for the astronauts when they cant get
something to work on the shuttle while in space. Maybe they should
familiar themselves with the common workings of the vehicle they are
flying BEFORE liftoff?
Ah, but thats what the NASA Space Shuttle Forum is for.........
