Drivers Side Window Not Indexing. Help? Thoughts? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Title pretty much says it all. I noticed last night that it is no longer indexing, neither dropping down, nor going back up. My auto-up is not working either, though the auto-down is. The passenger side is working just fine. I've had to leave the window open a crack at all times. Fortunately where I live nobody is going to steal or mess with my car, so that's not a concern. It's just my nearest dealer is 1 1/2 hours away and I really don't want to have to drive there just for this if there's something I can do about it.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so how was it fixed? I worry that it's more than a loose connection or fuse, that's it's something like the window motor. But I have no idea at this point and it's way too damn cold out to be troubleshooting it right now. If it helps, it was -38c last night. Though it was dry and my window was not sticking at all.

Any help would be awesome guys!

-38c I could see a issue with electronics

window motor, I had the same problem and took it to a dealer and that is what they replaced.

I'm really hoping that replacing the window motor is not my only option.

Did you read the manual and re-index the windows?

Should be the same as my Corvette..try this

Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done

Sounds right! I had to do this every time I unplug the battery. Was like that too in my VW.

I feel like a dumbass, but I can't find where I put my manual after my last interior detailing.

Thanks jjwvette, I'll try that!

Raise the windows, and hold the buttons in the "up" position. That reindexes them
