Hi all,

We have a 2 door hard top Big Bend.

Ya know how the window goes down slightly when you open the doors...our driver side window wouldn't go back up all the way after the door was shut.

Husband calls the dealership and he instructs him how to "reset" the window by putting it down all the way and hold it down until you hear a click, then putting it up all the way and holding it there until you hear a click. this would reset the window???

He did that, heard no clicks but now it's working correctly again. Worried if this will be an issue going forward.

Caveat, when we first picked her up, the passenger side window motor was broken and had to be replaced, so we're a little gun-shy LOL

I've heard that this is the fix, and I would try it. I have not had to use it, until recently. Back window on driver's side comes right back down when you hit the button for it to go up - gets to the top and it comes right back down. So, I tried this trick on Sunday and I can't. I can hold it down, but when it is time to hold it when it is up, the window comes right back down while I'm holding the button.
Then, the front passenger window started doing this 2 days ago. But, now the back window is working.

Most likely not the switch. My husband thinks that there is a module for the windows that control the part where they drop and go back up when opening and closing the doors.

With all of the electronics on these, I expect that there will be little "what the heck is that" and then it is gone. I will start worrying when the warranty expires.

seems like there was a reset on window limit for this, but cant find the thread about it. Might try searching here or googling it...
I dont think it was a big deal for a reset.

Roll the window down all the way.
Roll it back up, hold the button for 5 seconds after it goes up.
Then roll it down and hold the button for 5 seconds after it is all the way down.

This should do it.

Here are the full instructions from the Owner's Manual:

Resetting One-Touch Close
Carry out all steps within 30 seconds of
starting the sequence.
1. Fully open the window.
2. Lift and hold the window control until the window is fully closed. Keep the window control held for a two seconds
3. Press and hold the window control until the window is fully open. Keep the
window control pressed for two
seconds.
4. Lift and hold the window control until the window is fully closed. Keep the window control held for a two seconds
Note: Repeat the procedure if the window does not close when you use one-touch.

Same issue with my driver door. We had heavy rains this year and water would come through. There is a spot of upholstered metal on the door side of the driver seat that has rusted because of that. Dealer cannot seem to fix it, or it comes and goes.

This could be a defective door latch. The window drop down/up is controlled by a switch in the door latch. See the 1st few seconds of this video.

@TorgSurv provided the solution to this common problem

Here’s the instruction page for Power Door Window Initialization from the manual…

All 4 windows working properly today. Go figure. :unsure:
