auto down and up on windows

[Dom Mk3]

found something interesting out last night... my passenger window has auto up (using passenger switch or drivers side switch) but the drivers doesn't

must be something broken...

You probably need to reset the relay, this usually happens after the battery has been disconnected. To reset, jsut put the window up holding the button, then carry on holding the button in for another ten seconds or so, next time you do the window up, it should go up by itself!!!!

its some kind of fault because i've had/got problems with mine.

i've had mine 5 years and the passenger side has always worked fine, if you hold the button down for about 1 sec and release it either opens or closes fully.

drivers side worked initially, then stopped, and has had short spells of working since but 95% of time it hasn't!!! works fine in short dabs up and down, has always worked going fully down (auto) but not up. goes up so far than back down or up to top then part way down......very annoying!!!! i would love to know if someone knows why?

i've tried lubricating the glass/runners etc. etc. some say motor but surely if the motor was the problem you would get other problems or it would pack up altogether???

i think it must be some sort of switch/sensor because they have a safety mechanism so they stop if you had you arm in the way etc.!!!

both windows open or close fully using the auto feature by holding the key in locked/locked position but sunroof doesn't?!?!? it has done intermittantly......interestingly it seemed to (auto) close when the window was functioning fully??? maybe related or coincidence?!?!......i don't know???

could be onto something there... my alarm sometimes drops the drivers window a little bit when locking, unlocking and locking again... hmmm... must be a dirty sensor or something. Have to have a look on ETKA to see where it is

Mine - one touch up and down.

I have a Cobra full closure Alarm/Immobiliser but even before that was fitted it was as above.

So I would say that you guys either hav switch faults or alarm faults.

I think Majic Mk3 has figured the solution.
Wandering if that kind of resset will resset everything.

Both my front window's only go down with a single press but not up...and I can't do the total closure as I have no door lock's connected!!!! but I do remember my old golf had one shot lowering and upping....I also having a tempermental sticking window and was told to reset the relay...I will give it a try tommorrow

I have a 3rd 97 reg and my winds go up and down with one touch but i have a clifford and my sunroof closes too Dont know if that has anything to do with it

[irmscher]

ours go up and down with one touch..

but we have a strange problem with the drivers side window on ours...the button works back to front so up to go down and down to go up..anyone had this before?  is the wiring the wrong way round for some reason perhaps??

[AldoWeb]

While mine driver side goes up and down OK while passenger's side not.
I tried the majic mk3 advice but i couldn't resset the relay.
Please can anyone tell how to resset the chip that controls this.
