Is it worth just disconnecting the battery to see if everything resets?

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I recently got my windows tinted and now the driver window is acting a bit strange. It will drop when either interior or exterior handle is pulled, but won't stay down. I think the installer played with the latch to keep the window up, while he was applying the film. I've looked at the latch and everything seems fine and appears to be working as it should be. I tried searching but I didn't find anyone having this particular problem. Is it worth just disconnecting the battery to see if everything resets? thanks 2002 C4S

Does it come up after you close the door?

POST 3Original post

Here is something I saved from an old RL post. Look at #2, seems to be your issue. Good luck

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, I redid my search and found some more info {my fault for searching on my phone) and ran across this from pfbz Try these tests, see which ones fail: 0) Door open, but latch closed with screwdriver to simulate door being closed. Window should be all the way up. 1) Lightly pull on outer handle (not enough to open latch), window should drop slightly, and return when you let go of the handle. 2) ​​​​​​ Lightly pull on inner handle (not enough to open latch), window should drop slightly, and return when you let go of the handle. 3) Pull completely on outer handle (enough to open latch), window should drop slightly and stay dropped when you let go of the handle. 4) Reset latch to closed with screwdriver. Window should go back up. 5) Pull completely on inner handle (enough to open latch), window should drop slightly and stay dropped when you let go of the handle. 6) Reset latch to closed with screwdriver. Window should go back up. So 3 and 5 aren't working for me. And when I put the screwdriver in the latch and jiggled it the window went up and down.

Thanks for this, I think its absolutely #2 now that I've seen this. Bigger question is should I just replace the regulator while I'm in there

POST 6Original post

I'd say yes, fix the regulator while you are in there, especially if this car has not been driven regularly.

So advice on which one? Auto Atlanta has 7 ranging from $126 (URO) to $331 (Porsche)

POST 8Original post

Did you try to "relearn" the windows? Push the down button, then when the window is down continue to hold (push) the button for 10 seconds. Then push the up button and when the window is up continue to hold the button for 10 seconds. That resets the upper and lower limits.

Yeah, i did that as well and it appears to be the same issue. I know the tint guy was saying that he was struggling with the driver window, especially when he flipped the latch. I saw that this morning, before i realized what was going on. Window went crazy up and down and the dome light would come on when driving. I just don't want to pull the string before I have everything mapped that I want/need to do. Nothing annoys me more when I get into a project and I realize that I need to do something else or in addition to, or that I misdiagnosed the problem. I appreciate all the help, BTW. thanks to everyone.
