I returned from being away for Christmas and unhooked the car from the battery tender i allways use, manually unlocked the car and started the engine. I immeditely noticed the one touch windows (smart top installed) wwernt working. In fact the windows would not close at all. I also had a warning stating "systems error" take to dealer. I drove a couple of miles and the warning disapeared and the windows would retract. But, the one touch still does not work. My smart top works with the top as designed, but the windows dont raise when i put the top back up, and the one topuch window down doesnt work.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks a lot and happy new year

 

These cars don't really "fix themselves" but if the issue is not longer present, the computer will reassess and clear the warnings. I am told it takes a couple of driving cycles. Why, I don't know, but I have experienced it with two different issues.

As for the particular issue, just try to pin-point what has changed since last time everything worked properly.

Sorry. Good luck!

turn smarttop off, and turn back on check all the individual settings?

 

after you unplug your battery - with smarttop - you need to get into the car, without starting your engine you will lower windows all the way down by holding button, then raise them up. then when you start up the car they will work fine.

if you not do that then windows (after you start the engine) will only be going down and will not go up at all. it is kinda odd behavior and puzzled me at first, but then I got used to it, plus no one disconnects battery on a regular basis.

 

Limey940....looks like dogs are a big part of your life. Weims are a big part of mine. Sadie and Layla say hi!

 

Thank you everyone. Well, the windows are now working fine, any more problems i will look at the smartop device, its been flawless up until now.
Dartmouth - thanks for your pics, you have a couple of gorgeous family members there. We just retunrd home after a roadtrip, took the dogs to the beach and our weim swam out to soem dolphins, we were getting a little worried as they were quite big, but they swam off. she was right in the middle of them, wish i had my camera.
cheers and happy new year

 

By the way, does this behavior apply to the sunroof movement as well?

 

My question above is for the guy who proposed the solution. I ask because I had an odd behavior on my sunroof where it open up fine but to move it back I have to follow a certain sequence (up first, then down, and then back). Otherwise, it doesn't go back...

I did change my battery myself manually as well and am wondering if this, too, is tied to that...

Thanks,
