Important: The power windows will not work properly if the battery on the vehicle has been disconnected, or loses power with the door open and the window down. The window switch door module must be reinitialized once power is restored.
Follow these steps to reinitialize the module, and restore proper function to the windows, and switches.
Door Module Initialization Procedure
- Close the door.
- Raise the window by holding the up arrow on the power window switch.
- Hold the up arrow for three seconds after the window is closed.
- Release the switch.
- Hold the up arrow again for three seconds.
Keep in mind that nothing can be obstructing the window from closing or opening. If you continue the initialization, the window will only Express-Up or Express-Down, to the spot where the obstruction occurred. The Express features will not work until the
system has been reinitialized.

• | The gap should be evenly spaced at (4) and (5). |
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
