Article: Turn the key but don’t start the car to turn your vehicle’s electrical components on. On some cars, you’ll need to turn the key backward to turn the electrical components on. On other cars, the “run” position is the slot right before the area that you turn the key to ignite the engine. You cannot reset the windows using the controls while the car is running. If you reset your battery and the automatic window function isn’t working, the computer for your car likely flushed the memory of the window settings. This will input new memory settings for the windows. You are going to do this one window at a time, so pick a button to start with. Press the button all the way down and hold it so that the window lowers all of the way. Do not release the button once the window is lowered. Once your window is all the way down, hold the button down for 2-5 seconds. Release the button after you’ve held it down for a short period of time. On some vehicles, the required time to reset the window is 2 seconds. On others, it is 5 seconds. If this doesn’t work the first time at 2 seconds, try it again by holding the button down for 5. On the same window that you just lowered, raise the key upwards to lift the window. Pull the button all the way up with your finger so that the window raises all the way up. Do not release your finger. Once the window is all the way up, hold the button in the up position for 2-5 seconds. Once you’ve done this, release your finger. The automatic power settings for that window should be reset. Use the same time interval on each of the other window buttons to reset them separately. If you accidentally hit a different button while you’re doing this, simply repeat the process for the button that you hit. This will set the automatic window function by resetting the time intervals through your car’s computer.
