I have a 2003 GLE and when I shut my left front passenger window it goes up to the top then reverses direction and goes down automatically. There must be some type of limit switch problem . The only way I can close it is to carefully pull the window switch up in shot jabs.

Help!

 

There is an easy 30 second fix for that. You need to reset the window.

Let me find the link.

Same thing, but with pretty pictures. Who doesn't like pictures.

Tall Tom,

Thanks. I found the other article but without the pictures.

I have the door open now, but still don't clearly see the switch.

Let me look some more.

I hate to have to take the whole door panel off, but maybe I have to...

 

I take it you didn't look at the links. You only need to pop out the small handle piece.

 

Tom,

I did look at the links and read all 3 pages. Unfortunately the picture is misleading, or is hard to place looking at the vapor barrier. The switch is actually next the the "R" in "FR" on the vapor barrier, diagonally between the speaker and the inside door latch release. Looking at the picture, I thought it was below the door handle release, which it is not. I had to remove the whole inner panel to see it clearly. Fortunately, I did not crack anything removing the panel.

I got it reset, though I noted the motor does move the glass up slowly closing the window. I wonder if the rails need to be greased.

 

Just did this on my '03 I-35 (passenger side). The switch is lower and more forward than I thought from looking at the driver side pictures. A flashlight helped and feeling in by hand helped find it. Seems to be working ok on several auto up/down cycles today. Thanks for the links and recommendations.

I have the same problem with my passenger window. Any suggestions on finding exactly where the reset switch is if the door is dynomatted?

 

Draw a line between 2 o'clock on the door speaker and the door release latch

You will find the switch approximately in the middle of that line.
