3 Electric Windows Not Working Since Battery Change

[nidgemo]

Hi everyone

Slight problem hopefully someone can help me with!

Over christmas with all the bad weather, I had to replace the Battery in my 2006 IS220D - while doing this, I kept the cconnectors on a charge pack, and everything in the car was still working perfectly when completed - no radio stations lost, all sat nav data still there, no need to re-programme keys etc.

However, 3 of my 4 windows had stopped working completely - the drivers window still operates perfectly, but the other 3 will not do anything (whether using the switches on the driver side, or the individual ones)

Anyone got any ideas of how to fix this? Is there any chance it's just a fuse? if so does anyone know which one specifically? or even any other ideas of how to repai this without having to go to a dealer (my nearest is a 150 mile trip, and it'll probably be expensive too?)

Thanks in advance for anyone who can offer any suggestions!

I think, you musst press every button (of windows) of every door and the windows must from down to top. Then your buttons of the driver-door will be working...

Just a quick thing to check but are you sure you have not pressed the window lock out button as that would disable all the windows apart from the drivers!

switch on ignition to level 2 (do not start engine), and go with every window to the middle and back to the top. This will "reinitialize" the windows. Don't ask me why this is needed...

btw RTFM :winky:

Si have a similar problem - disconnected the Battery and upon reconnection the passengers windows won't work from the driver's master console. They work individually though. I have read the manual and can't see where it says to reset the system. Also, the fuse documentation is strange - I pulled the mini fuses for the electric windows from the drivers footwell and the windows still worked! There are multiple references for the electric windows in the 3 fuse boxes!

I have read the manual and can't see where it says to reset the system.

[Chuckie888]

Wow! It's true! I tried this and now my windows ARE now working from the master console. Thanks Boris.

I still find it rather idiosyncratic though! The linked door operation again next me thinks.

My windows I hope are the same.

The pass ever light switch was flashing tonight, but on the Main drivers switch, I can't control the passenger side front or drivers side rear!

Will try this method tomorrow.

Hi everyone, I have just purchased an RX300 new shape 2003.

I am having the exact same problem as the topic states. I have tried what has been suggested but it hasn't worked for me.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Do I have to press every window button all the way down and up including the drivers ? do I have turn ignition on or off ? I don't know what I might be doing wrong.

Many Thanks In advance.

if the auto function isn't working then open the window, then close it holding the button up and continue to hold for a further couple of seconds. The auto function should then work. Repeat for all the windows.

I have just tried it again and its worked. I just needed to hold the button up a bit longer.

Thanks for the help.

[bluenose1940]

I seem to recall it needs 6 seconds!

[ColinBarber]

I shouldn't be that long but it doesn't hurt, if you listen carefully you can sometimes hear the motor cut out - that is what you are waiting for.

Only had my IS250 a week and I was puzzled why I couldn't operate the rear windows from the driver's controls ?? Tried this trick and everything now functions correctly. Couldn't see anything in the manual about it.......thanks chaps !!

Hi just to say thanks to everybody who answered to the electric window problem, my "57 plate RX350 had the same problem I had to do each window individualy for it to work, thanks again. :ooh-ducky:

[pmcgee02]

Thank you so much for the advice on here about 3 of my windows not opening. All four windows can now be opened from the driver's side control.

[Steph Armstrong]

Thank you everyone for the advice on the windows sorted cheers

 

[Newbuyer]

This is the worst advise ever, hahahahaha but hello it worked did it for all windows and I'm just as baffled hahahahaha I laughed

[Petals]

I have the same problem and have tried the windows to half mast, but still they don’t work . I also brought a salvaged window components and still they don’t work. I can only operate the drivers window. Any advice gratefully received.

You probably do itt a little bitt wrong, youst read the tread carefully. Have done this myself.

[Mincey]

The same trick worked for me after a Battery change. Being a bloke, I didn't read the manual either, I just googled it once it became annoying!

I just noted you have RX400, which might have different sequence to set the windows, however above definitely works for mk2 IS. I have done it several times now.

Everyone else is joining in this 9 year old thread. I was feeling left out.

So, window experts. Different car ('02 GS) but my passenger window just will not go back up on it's own from the control on the driver's side. I've tried holding on down, holding on up, half way down, everything. Just refuses to work. Works fine from the passenger side switch. Any ideas?

[scudney]

Probably a problem with the drivers master control switch especially if the passenger side switch works ok🤔
