Every once in a while you may find yourself needing to reset your windows. This could be because you disconnected your battery or for some other reason, but the good thing is that isn’t too difficult. However, if you find your windows are having issues on a regular basis, you may need to replace your door modules.

This DIY Guide covers the process for resetting windows that still function (Step 1) and also windows that are not responsive whatsoever (starting at Step 2).

Needed

T30 Torx bit
Ratchet
Fuse puller or similar
About half an hour

Note: The tools will only be needed if Step 1 does not work.

Step 1

Hold the window switch down to lower the window until it is fully open, and continue to hold it. After a few seconds, you’ll hear a faint click sound. Release the switch.

Hold the window switch up to raise the window until it is fully closed, and continue to hold it. After a few seconds, you’ll hear a faint click sound. Release the switch.

Test the window to make sure the auto-down function works using the switch and the window dips when opening the door.

If Step 1 does not work, continue to Step 2.

Step 2

Pull back the bottom carpet on the passenger side to expose the panel cover. Use the T30 Torx bit and ratchet to remove the 7 bolts holding the cover in place.

Remove the cover and you’ll see the CEM with two rows of fuses.

Step 3

Fuse 82 (F82) is for the passenger door module of a LHD car.
Fuse 83 (F83) is for the driver door of a LHD car.
Both fuses are 25A and both can be pulled if you aren’t sure which to do.

Remove the door module fuse (or both fuses) using a fuse pulling tool or similar (I usually use a set of needlenose pliers).

Leave the fuses out for a minute, then plug the fuse(s) back in.

Step 4

Test the functionality of the window by repeating Step 1.

If the windows are working properly, put the panel cover back in place and reinstall the T30 Torx bolts, and that’s it!

If the windows aren’t working properly, you need to do more diagnostics and may need new door modules.
