Default window problem...

Hey guys,

For some reason my window switch is not working from driver side control.

I cannot open all the passenger side windows but my own driver window.

all the other windows work if i press each individual switch.

anyone have the same problem? it was working fine the whole time till now...

Had this problem in a 14 year old Toyota MR2...was diagnosed as a "seperated" wire which was fixed by the dealer. Not sure why this would apply to an 06/07 car. Take it to your dealer...it should be repaired under warrantee. Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

do the other windows go down and auto. when you press their respective switchs. Is the little light on the window switchs flashing? if so the just need to be reinitialized.

Did you have your batterys removed, died? If so this is why you are incurring this problem. If not, you can still fix it yourself. This happend to me too. Do you have the manual because it shows you how to program the windows... I forgot how it worked but its very simple, just follow the steps in your book.

yeah it happened with me and fixed it

1- open the window you want to repair to the half.
2- lift it up as you want to "auto up" it and keep holding the button till the window is closed.

it should be working now from the driver's side.

if u reset your battery, then you can fix it yourself.

im not sure how it goes, but i think u hold the window button down for like 15 seconds, and then it should be good to go.

hey guys,
thanks for the help.

it's working now.

I follow this step here and the same instruction in the manuel and it works!!!

basically i go to each individual window and open it half way, pull the switch up till the window is close for a second, and it's all done. i have to do this for all 3 passenger windows.

Thanks a lot and this saves a trip to dealer!!!
