Rear Power Window Thinks It Knows Best

[gratch]

Hello,

On my 07 400h the driver side rear window wants to be open, it's getting annoying.

If the one touch close function is used on the door or with the driver’s door the window closes then open about 2 inches. Same happens if I use the remote to close the windows.

I read the manual and searched here but can find no reference to it.

Can anyone give me a way to stop it.

Thanks

Occasionally the 'brain' that remembers where the windows should stop etc loses it's marbles and has a bit of a seizure. It's all down to Nanny state and the fact that you can't have electric windows now with one touch closure that if a child leaves his/her finger there then the window would carry on closing and chop the little darlings digits off.

I say kids shouldn't put their bl**dy fingers in the windows in the first place so that will teach them a lesson - anyway........

You should solve your problem by holding window button on the drivers door in the open position until it goes through an entire cycle. From memory, it will open, pause, then close and then possibly open again and close, then there will be a beep and your done. It should have then 'learnt' where open and close is once more.

Hope that helps

It's fixed! Thank you.

It did not quite do up, down, beepy thing. It went down and stayed there, wouldn't move at all.

It got me a bit worried so I did the British thing and made a cup of tea.

Went back out and it works perfectly. If the 'lets be nice to fingers' bit does'nt work, I guess the kids will learn quite quickly.

Thanks again for the reply.

Ahhhh good..... I couldn't quite remember if it went down, then back up and then back down again or only went through the cycle once but I can remember you have to hold the button until it's finished doing 'it's thing'.

For reference it's the same procedure if your sun roof gets a mind of it's own as well except you have to wait until it goes through open, close and tilt modes.

Glad it helped

All the best
