Help! Changed my battery and now my electric windows won’t work

SOLVED!!!

I changed my battery today and now my automatic driver window won’t go up or down (I have to hold the button rather than tap/click for the automatic action). Also, my rear window will not work using the key on the tailgate.

I don’t know what else is misfunctioning but that’s all I discovered so far.

Is this common? Anyone know how to solve this, or come across this issue? The car was disconnected for about 5min while I changed the battery and cleaned the connectors

Thanks to AuSeeker!

I discovered this was an easy fix. I just held down the window button (all the way, engaging the auto button) then held it up all the way. I did it twice, just in case, and the auto window feature is fixed- back to normal.

I love this site (and the members!)

Perfectly normal for this to happen, anytime you disconnect the battery or the battery dies you will have to "normalize" the window functions, how to do this is in your owner's manual, under "power window switches"...(I understand no one ever reads their owner's manual...BUT they should, it's made to help you understand how your vehicle works/is made to work, etc., etc., who knows you may actually learn more about your T4R if you do decide to read it!), how to normalize your windows has also been posted many times on the forum, a search should of got you the info needed as well, just an FYI you also don't have the "jam protection" function on any of your windows any longer either, so don't get your fingers cut off rolling up the windows...nor will your rear wiper work until you "normalize" everything, afterwards everything will be back to normal and you won't even cut off your fingers rolling up the windows.

To normalize your windows functions, lower the window halfway, then raise the window all the way up and continue holding the switch for a few seconds, your windows should now be normalized, repeat the process for the back window using the dash window switch.

Yeah, I should have searched, it’s been crazy at home and this surprise didn’t help. Haha

I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

Also found this useful thread in case anyone else has this issue
