Finally the power window switch for the passeger door was replaced, and everything is working fine. There is a circuit board with some chips on the switch assy that control the auto functions of the power windows. So if ALL programming attempts fail (like in my case) you probably have a bad switch.:ugh2:

Actually, you're supposed to hold the button in the down position for a few seconds (you'll hear a click). Then close the window and hold in the up position. Only go to the first click. Don't go to the auto position on the switch. If this doesn't work, try a full reset. Hold the button in the down position for twenty seconds, then close the window and hold for another twenty. The most important is to not put the button to the auto position.
I did it a gazillion times this summer the resets always worked.


It's been an interesting week for me an my Z.. First the 1/4 tank fuel starve and today the windows flaked-out. This worked like a charm though, thanks guys !

It sounds like your window motor just needs to be reset. I know from first hand experience if the battery is ever disconnected this happens. Try this, get in the car, roll the windows all the way down, then back up and continue holding up for about 5 seconds after the window reaches the top. You can do both windows at the same time or one at a time. Hope this fixes the problem. Keep us updated.

sorry guess I should read to the bottom of the theard before posting lol. But if you ever have this problem this trick will work. The dealer told me on the phone it would take 2 hours to fix and cost $80-$100. When I went up there the mechanic showed me this trick!

Yah whenever the switch control on the door is unplugged from its harness you need to do this.

Some cars are smart and tell you on the display to reset the windows (and how to), ours, not so much.

I had the same problem today after i got my car back from the collision shop.. My driver side window wouldnt go up after i closed the door. I did the 5 sec reset and it worked like a charm. I love forums. 99.99999% of the time its better to do research here then go to a f-in dealership.

and props to you for doing your research rather then just taking it straight to the dealer! :tup:

Couldn't figure this out for a half hr after replacing my door speakers, i thought i would have to go to the dealer. Went on the forums and it took me less than 5 min. This forum is great.

Door open, turn to " on " postion..close the door... roll the window down more than half way - roll it back up and hold for 5 seconds. then release

Have the car turned off.
Press the ignition twice to get into ON mode, but don't depress the clutch (Don't start the car)
Using the window switch, fully lower each window and then fully raise it back up.
Push ignition once to turn off the ignition.
Start car normally, windows should be reprogrammed.

Tried this version of reset and it worked like a charm thanks guys

Just wanted to say thanks to spearfish25 and ChrisSlicks! My passenger side window wasn't going up on auto, but using that technique, the problem was resolved inside a minute! Great advice!!!
