Window Reset instructions
BMW 330i 2006
On a hot summer day in San Diego, as I was getting out of work, just like any other day, I got into my car and it was very hot, so first thing I did after getting in the car was to lower all the windows. Little did I know it was going to be a journey.
As I lowered the window in the rear passenger side, the window stopped and I heard a very loud Pop! I thought for sure somebody threw a rock and it hit my car, it was a very loud thump. I looked around around desperately looking for the person responsible, I couldn't see anybody and I was stumped, I couldn't figure out what made the loud noise, as the wind came into my car cooling it down, from the cold air from the AC I naturally wanted to put up the windows, well not today. The rear passenger window wouldn't go up.
As I sat there thinking how I was going to drive home with my window open, mind you I never drive with my rear window open the hole way home, about 40 minutes away. I tried pulling it up and to my surprise it did stay up, for about 10 minutes, and then it slowly started lowering to half way as I got home.
I ended up replacing he mechanism that pulls the window up, it was actually not very difficult, everything was well laid out, it only took me about 30 minutes. Sorry I didn't take pictures of that.
This post will be about how to reset the window after the window is back and working. As some of you may know, after you fix the motor, and or mechanical mechanism, you are not quite done, you still need to reset the computer, otherwise the window goes up and then down halfway.
According to the Bentley Publishers, this is how it's done:
Power window regular motor initialization procedure:
-Switch ignition ON and close window completely.
-Release window button, then hold switch in Close direction again for approx. 1 second.
- Open window completely.
- Release window button, then hold switch in Open direction again for approx. 1 second.
-Close window completely again.
-Release window button, then hold switch in Close direction again for approx. 1 second.
-Check to make sure one-touch control, anti-trapping and comfort functions are activated.
As you might image, things didn't go as planned, I didn't really figure out how to do it. I am able to use the window, it does go up and down, but if you keep pressing the switch the window will close but then open halfway.
One of these days I will have to figure it out. I already tried fixing it two times with no success. It did actually work one time, I recorded it. But then it didn't, because when i tried later to open and close it, the window went down halfway again.
If you have any comments or success stories please let me know how it went...
