Default Passenger Side Window On the Fritz

I keep getting these random issues and then I make a thread not expecting anybody to be able to help but just to alert you guys to these issues.

The other day I drove into the garage and left me passenger side window partly open. I shut the engine off before I realized this and was too lazy to turn it back on to close the window. The next morning, I start the car and use the window switch to close the window. It went all the way up until the window was closed, and then went straight down again till the half way point. It is the same kind of reaction as if it detected an object blocking its path.

I do this for a good 10 more times while I am driving to work. It still decides that it wants to stay open. Then I close it inch by inch and it finally closes.

It has not happened since.

Isnt that weird.

Have you tried the window reset procedure in the manual? Link below. It's on the second page of the document. Good luck!

Doing a window reset isn't a bad idea but it sounds like the gremlin went away. Hope it isn't a precursor to something else. Keep us posted and thanks for the info.
