it will come back...it always does

[svt ricco]

what if it didn't? should i take out the battery termiinal again? this shouldn't be happening since it's just all plug and play right?

[ryhi]

make sure they go all the way up and all the way down without stopping.

if you read the manuel in your car there is a section for your window learning...most time when the battery is disconnected you have to reset your windows and sun roof... most time when you roll windows up and down it learns its self but you have to do the manuel roll up and down.....same with the sun roof:cool:

so how did you fix it in the end? just roll the window up and down manually?

Pg. 76 of my 1999 C230/C280/C43 Owner's Manual states:

Synchronizing Sliding/Pop-Up Roof

If the power supply was interrupted (battery disconnected or empty), or if the sliding/pop-up roof is blocked during closing/opening procedure, the system has to be synchronized.

To do so, turn electronic key in steering lock to position 2, move and hold switch in direction (3) (up) until the sliding/pop-up roof is completely raised at rear, and hold for additional 1 second.


And pg. 78 states:
Synchronizing Power Windows

If the power supply was interrupted (battery disconnected or empty), the windows cannot be opened or closed by the Express feature.

To resynchronize the Express feature, press ^(up) side of power window switch until the window is completely closed and hold for additional 2 seconds. Repeat procedure for each window.

The automatic full opening and closing procedure of the windows should now be restored.
