When resetting the windows I keep the button pressed to run the window down to the bottom and keep it pressed for a further 10 seconds after the window has reached the bottom Then keep the button pressed while the window is going up and for 10 seconds after the window has reached the top.

Suggestion
Run windows up to top, release the switch and press and hold up again - this will reinstate the one touch memory stop.

Unless I'm mistaken my 996.2 Carrera 4 should have one touch windows and I'm sure it did when I first test drive it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unless I'm mistaken my 996.2 Carrera 4 should have one touch windows and I'm sure it did when I first test drive it. I believe the battery was disconnected in the meantime and now they don't work. Is there an easy fix at all? Also should they be one touch up, down or both?

POST 2Original post

Run windows up to top, release the switch and press and hold up again - this will reinstate the one touch memory stop. 996 one touch down both sides, one touch up driver's only (boxster has up both sides due to rules on 2+2 legislation in US or some such nonsense)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you. I'll give that a go tomorrow morning.

Both windows are one press down and up, including the passenger window. Edited by TwoLeadFeet on Wednesday 24th December 17:33

POST 5Original post

I had the same problem after flat battery so I depressed window down then back up again and held it in the up position when window was closed for approx 10 seconds ( on both windows) mine are both one touch operation again

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Still can't get it to work. Does it make a difference if you donit on both windows at once?
