If you reset your battery and the automatic window function isn’t working, the computer for your car likely flushed the memory of the window settings. This will input new memory settings for the windows.

On some vehicles, the required time to reset the window is 2 seconds. On others, it is 5 seconds. If this doesn’t work the first time at 2 seconds, try it again by holding the button down for 5.

Wipe the excess spray off with a cloth or paper towel. An automatic window relies on a sensor to interpret when the window is in the closed position. Applying lubricant spray will reduce the friction, which will make it easier for the sensor to interpret when the window is actually closed. This will also lubricate your motor and reel, which will make it easier for the entire system to function smoothly. You can buy waterproof silicone spray from your local hardware or auto parts store.

Turn your car off before removing the fuse. If you need to replace a fuse, order a replacement from your manufacturer and push it into the fuse slot in your vehicle. If you don’t have your vehicle’s instruction manual, you can download a copy online from your manufacturer’s website. In many cars, the fuse box is under the panel in between the driver’s and front passenger’s seat, or behind a panel on the driver’s side dashboard. If it isn’t there, it is usually in the glove box.

The reel is the piece that turns to raise and lower your window. If it is rusty or filled with gunk, the reel won’t turn correctly.
