Automatic power windows not rolling up but still roll down?

Okay so here's a weird one. My driver and passenger windows will roll down automatically when you hit the lowest position on the switch, but won't roll up automatically when you hit the highest position on the switch? The manual up and down works fine. What gives?

The only thing that's changed is that I installed a Racingline Grounding Kit. I'm not sure if this happened before or after that since I don't roll my windows down that much since I quit eating out.

Everything else is stock. I debated removing the ground wire from the ECU to see if that helps, but I just don't see how adding a better ground broke something like this.

Any ideas?

Another member posted this issue. You have to reprogram it. When you disconnect the battery it loses the feature. Let me see if I can find it.

Fantastic! Thanks! I figured it had to be something silly like this. I couldn't see where adding a ground would have broken it.

Yup. That did the trick! Good to know seeing as i'm about to pull the battery and switch over to the Optima Gel Cell.

Thanks for the help!

Follow the reprogramming procedure on page 2-44 in your Owner's Manual.

I did the above and it fixed the problem with my two front windows rolling down automatically whenever the car was turned off and the doors were opened. Quick note...I had to follow the above steps for EACH window (applying the above fix simultaneously did not work for me).

THANK YOU FOR SHARING 2010Max! I owe you a lunch!

*******PLEASE HELP**********************************



Help I have a similar problem. Yellow key light on. Cant turn on the accessory. Cant roll up windows (hard key doesn't work). I live in Alaska. 100 MILES FROM THE DEALER.

I've changed the car battery, the primary fob battery, and have tried the back up fob.

My brake lights do work.

I've noticed that the steering wheel lock is not engaging though.

All the while, though, the yellow light stays on while I'm seated in the car with either or both keys.

Yes I've tried to sit key in key boot. without any changes. Not even sure why they put that in the car.

Bumping this thread because it works for those of us who actually unhook the battery when working on our vehicles.
