Car had a stroke. Help.

nextbesthing · 03-12-2011, 11:55 AM

So my driver side windshield wiper died on the way home the other day. Called and made an appointment at the dealer for tuesday, but now my driver side window won't go up. I'm pretty sure I read on here about people disconnecting battery when they have window problems but can't find the thread, so can someone please help me. Thanks

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum AK.

Take a look at your fuses. That's my first thought.

Most have had problems with windows after the disconnect the battery and then reconnect. Is that what you did? Anyways try this.

WINDOWS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER INSTALL
If the windows do not close automatically
If the power window automatic function (closing
only) does not operate properly, perform the
following procedure to initialize the power
window system.

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.

Also check fuse as spearfish25 stated.
