Use Your remote key FOB and press the unlock button. Unlock the driver's side door using the key and switch the ignition to the ON position, but don't start the vehicle. If it's still triggered, roll up all the windows and exit the vehicle, then lock the driver's door with the key.
If on a GM car the battery has been disconnect the windows may need to be reprogrammed
The following steps explain how to program the side door window regulator motors:
Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully DOWN. Continue holding the power window switch for approximately 3 seconds.
Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully UP. Continue holding the power window switch for approximately 3 seconds.
The power window regulator motor is now programmed for the express function.
Changing a battery should not affect the power window. The computer will be reset when the battery is disconnected. Sounds like a coincidence. Try banging on the door while operating the window switch to see if it will work again. If not, the door will have to be disassembeled for testing/inspection
I guess it's just me, but, I don't like taking battery cables loose. I know sometimes it works.
Did you check voltage at proper fuse circuits, use a testlite.
You may have to check proper wire colors in wire harness on hinge side of driver door. You open and shut the driver door so much, sometimes those wires break. I'm talking voltage and ground. The info I looked at was for two door version.
Disconnecting the battery erases stored memory,after you connect the battery put the key in the ignition cylinder and turn the driver door switch on(open) and off (closed), on (open),the entry,exist function then becomes complete, and the return operation can be operated,
Each window has a pressure sensor that must be reset each time the battery is disconnected. My wife has an '04 RX330. According to the owner's manual for '04, to reset the pressure sensor for a window, bring the window down half-way, using the control on the same door as the window and then raise it back up, holding the up position on the control for 1 second after the window is all the way up.
On the '04, this brings window control back to driver's side module.
all vw MUST be reset after battery dies/changed.put key in door,unlock/hold key over 30 secs(windows go down)then lock/hold key over 30 secs(windows go up/sunroof closes)then press unlock button on remote for 30 secs......RESET DONE......(try this for fun....sit in car after turning off engine/remove key,drivers door keypad is still live(until you open door)ALSO when engine is running lower any window and then raise up with fingers in top of door,the window will rollback.(if you do it once it hurts..twice it really hurts..three times it traps your hand in.)ALL THIS is NOT in the handbook.......
The window reset procedure is as follows:
Remove the door panel, disconect the glass from the regulator (then slide it up and tape it out of your way), remove the regulator (& motor) from the door, remove the motor from the regulator (so you are left with just the motor), plug the motor back into the wiring harness and using the window switch rotate the motor "up" for 6 full rotations or about 4 seconds. re assemble every thing, motor back on the regulator, regulator back in the door, window back onto regulator. (HINT: when installing the motor onto the regulator set the regulator in the middle so when it is in the door you can access the two bolts to reattach the window). Once it is reassembled, LEAVE THE DOOR PANEL OFF. Without using the express up, raise the window all the way up, then without using the express down, lower the window all the way down.
Your window should now be reset. test the express down and up.
Reattach the door panel.
Sometimes you have to repeat the above steps a couple of times to get it to reset.
good luck, HTH
Did you change or unhook the battery? If so, the power windows can be reset. I believe this is in the manual as well.
reset passenger window by running it down all the way. then run it up and continue to hold the switch up for ~3 seconds after the window is all the way up. that should reset it so it works from the driver's side controls.
I was able to reset the rear windows the same way (I did flip the child lock on the door as well).
