Default Auto window switch

After fitting new speakers and putting everything back together i've found the Auto window switch dosent work, the switch works just like the passenger one where you have to keep it pressed down. Had a look at the connectors and everything looks OK.

So any ideas?

mikeyk in another post said the auto window switch on his stops working for 20 mins after he disconnects (and reconnects) the battery.... Not sure if this is relevant to your problem or not

Did you disconnect the battery? If yes, you need to program the window to use the auto function.

Put the window all the way up and then click the auto up and hold for a few seconds - should sort it.

Ade, it does do this when disconnected. You have to reset it by doing (something like) the following

Wind all the way up, holding the switch all the way up for a few seconds after.
WInd all the way down again
Repeat.

From the tech manual:

Resetting the power window unit
Resetting the power window control unit is required after performing the following procedures:
- shutdown of the battery power.
- shutdown of the electric power caused by both No. 17 (20 A) and No. 8 (20 A) fuses.
- open circuit caused by disconnected 14P connector from the power window master switch.
- remove of the regulator, glass or glass run channel.

1. Make sure the glass is installed properly.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Remove the No. 17 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) and hold on for one second, then turn it OFF. Install the No. 17 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box five seconds later after turning the ignition switch OFF.
5. Make sure the driver

I would be curious to know if this procedure works. I had my battery replaced back in April and the car, of course, ended up without the auto lift function. I pressed up and down and pressed again in random sequences and eventually the auto function started to work again. Took maybe ten minutes of random pressing. Doubt I opened the door or started the engine though.
