Unhappy Drivers side window controls

My drivers side window controls for all the other windows(except the drivers window) stop working..They work at each individual window control but not from the drivers side. Any one had this problem. 2007 RX350..

Default Driver Side Window Controls

I just experienced that problem on my 2005 RX330. During service, the battery was disconnected, resulting in some of the computerized system codes being lost. The Lexus dealer re-entered the codes and everything is working perfectly.

There should be a switch just above the window controls. One side of the switch shows a small pic of a window and the other side shows the same thing but with an X thru it. Flip the switch and try the windows again.

Here's how to initialize the power windows if you ever disconnect the battery:

1. Turn the ignition to "on".
2. The light in the button for the driver's window will be blinking. If it's not blinking, it doesn't need initializing.
3. Open the driver's window all the way.
4. Pull up on the switch to close the window, and continue holding the switch up for about one second until after the window closes. The light will stop blinking, and then you can release the switch.
5. The power windows should all work normally, and the jam protection feature should be enabled.

Nope, I think you read it wrong or one of us read it wrong. The lock out stops the controls at each door from working (this stops kids in the back seat from playing with the buttons) I believe he said that the controls on all the other doors work but the driver's controls don't work.

Thanks, I am going to print that and keep it in my car in case I need it in the future.
