I recently accidentally disconnected my battery in my car and noticed that my window Auto Up was no longer working. I stopped by the dealership and this is the procedure we went through to get it working again.

This is for Vehicles equipped with the Auto Window Switches (Marked "Auto" on the switch) for driver and passenger windows.

1. Turn the key to on.
2. Roll the window down all the way and hold for 10 seconds. (This resets the auto down)
3. Pull the switch up and hold for 10 seconds. (This resets the auto up)

They said that if you listen very closely, you could hear a click from the switch after 10 seconds showing that it has reset.

Tada! Your windows will now be able to roll up and down with a single press of the switch. :beerchug:

Auto roll up ?

I tried this on mine "the switch say's AUTO" It rolls down if i push it all the way down and let go. BUT it would not roll up, when you let go of the switch it just stops ???

x2 how do you know if you have an auto up, mine also works on the down but not the up

I don't remember 2005 Magnums having this option. If you had auto up/down front windows then both front window switches would say AUTO on them.

As previously stated, both front window switches would say AUTO on them. There was a TSB for the Auto up/down function not working.

Mines an 05 only the driver window says auto up. Does this mean the window goes up automatically when the car's shut off? or uo and down with a touch of the button.

This means you have the standard power windows, where the driver's window is auto down only when pressing all the way down to the second detent and releasing. No auto up. Auto up/down windows have extra detents in the front window switches for express opening or closing. Pressing the switch all the way down to the second detent and releasing it causes window to open completely without driver input. Pressing down only half way, or to the first detent is manual operation. Lifting all the way up to the second detent and releasing it causes window to close completely without driver input. Lifting only half way up to first detent is manual operation. Standard power windows use a circuit breaker in the master (LF) switch to control express opening. Auto up/down (express) windows use different front window switches, different window regulators that contain hall-effect switches to detect window position, unique door wiring, and electronic door modules on the CAN bus that look at the signals from the hall effect switches and control power and ground to the regulators.

Thanks for posting this thread.

My drivers side recently stopped going up automatically. Did the 10 second trick and bingo, it's back.

Thanks again.

I just had my car at the dealership today for the front passenger side window which wouldn't go down. They had to replace the regulator. I got the car back but the auto up no longer worked (I have auto up/down on both front windows). They took the car back and used the Starscan to fix it. I thought I had read there was a procedure that didn't require Starscan. I was right.

Apparently a new regulator installation requires a reset as well as a battery disconnection.

Why did the auto up feature on my driver's side window stop working. Only the up feature on the driver's side stopped working. I just reset it, and now it works fine.?????

possible candidate for TSB 08-011-07A.

Thanks Funky! I hope not, I hope it was just a fluke........

Can we swap motors and switches from a later build LX?

Can we swap motors and switches from a later build LX?

probably, but only if the donor vehicle has the same type of system (auto down vs auto up/down).

 

[Mr. iNCREDIBLE]

need switches, motor, door module, and a flash to the car to tell it the activate the module..


oh yeah and a different wire harness in the door.

So my auto windows havent worked properly since about 4 months after I bought my car. When I hold down the switch, the window rolls down about 1" and then stops. Takes about 15 presses to get the window all the way down. They are pretty much useless. I have tried to reset procedure about 20 times in every way imaginable with no avail.

After about 3 years of bitching and whining about them not working, I finally decided to fork out $132 for new window modules. Installed them today, NOTHING. Tried recalibrating...NOTHING...I am so effing pissed. These modules (and any other electronics) are non-returnable so I am out $132 and have nothing to show but 2 chunks of plastic that aren't even heavy enough to be paper weights.

HELP! Anyone have any ideas. I'm about to install manual windows with a hand crank.:blam:

 

[Dr. Bud]

Well, if you make a clear handle to the window crank and fed in some purple LED's it would look killer!

great tip thanks
