Window Issue. Anyone else?

In2Deep · 12-11-2009, 02:04 PM

Had a strange problem surface last week.
Instead of my driver-side window cinching up when I close the door leaving the car, now it's doing the reverse. I park, the window is fully closed, I open the door, get out, close the door...and the window cinches down about a 1/4 inch. If I don't remember to fully close the window the next time, it will cinch down to the point that the window is cracked open.

I disconnected the battery a couple of weeks ago, and I'm wondering if that might have in some way confused the computer brain in the car?

Anyone else had or have this issue? Any easy fixes?

Try this:

Quote:

1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.

2. Close the door.

3. Open the window completely by operating
the power window switch.

4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to
close the window, and then hold the switch
more than 3 seconds after the window is
closed completely.

5. Release the power window switch. Operate
the window by the automatic function to
confirm the initialization is complete.

6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other
windows.

There is a way to reset it... there's a thread lurking somewhere. I will try to locate it.

The procedure must have originally been setup for a G37 or something because there is only one other 'window'
