Exclamation Windows wont work

I recently installed volt HID 6k lights for my low's. After the install i notice that my passenger side window rolls down but it doesnt roll down automatically like it used to, and the function for all the other windows doesn't even work. I cant roll any of them down just my driver side window. I checked the driver side fuses under the steering wheel, the fuses in front of the car battery, and the fuses under the glove box( i found a blown cig. lighter fuse here) kinda good news there. IS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE I SHOULD CHECK FOR FUSES? I tried checking the mylexus website for the online manual but its offline right now. Any help would be appreciated.

did you unplug the battery? Try rolling them down individually and roll them up.

I unplugged the negative terminal for the hid install. The windows wont roll down individually only the driver side window.

Ok so for some reason my driver side window rolls up and down automatically now when you pull it all the way up and push it all the way down. Im making progress!! i have no idea why though. My other windows will not work at all though, initially i thought it was a feature that you enabled through the menu next to the steering wheel but theres no option for enabling or disabling the window controls.

I'm guessing you already have checked the window lock button on your drivers door...

After reading through the link you sent me digital don; micaiah nailed it...it was the safety lock. My owners manual still hasnt come in mail, thanks for the help!!!!!
Next time i will look in the FAQ thread first.
On the positive side b/c of the volt install i was able to see that my air filter needed to be replaced, and i now have a working cig. lighter

Weird, that has happened to me too when I disconnect the battery. But after a few days, it comes back to working.

Even though this is an old thread here is the fix...
start with the driver window: wind the window all the way down and then all the way up. Release the button and press it up again. the window should go up a lit bit more.
Then try the one touch option. the window should go back down with one touch. if it Doesn't repeat on driver side.
Once completed on the driver side go to another window and use the actual switch under the window to complete the procedure.

sometimes i have to turn off the car after the initial start for it to work.
but i have tested this procedure twice and it worked.

idk if this has been replied to yet but exact same thing happened to me when installing hid kit.

you need to recalibrate your window switches. im guessing your master switch lf window light is flashing..

hold each window switch down 15 seconds and up 15 seconds,, if im correct?

good luck, and possibly your vsc light came on too? all you need to do is reset the code if the battery died
