Help please. Window doesn't clear top

[tamarsha]

Hummmm... not sure about the radio. Mine is an '03.
They quite with that whole punch in a code thing. Instead, now when I park my car in the sun on hot day, after start up the radio says "PROTECT" and it won't do anything till it cools off and the alarm is reset. I guess that is progress.

I just tried the window down -->up 5 seconds reset but it did nothing. I noticed that the glass doesn't come down enough but if i press it down manually it stops at the point it should be lowering to.

Something else I found that you might want to try...

"Start the car, put the window all the way down, then push and hold the button in the up position, when the window reaches the top and stops moving, keep the switch depressed for at least 5 seconds, at no point of putting the window up and holding the button after the window has finished, do you release the button. If you do start over. This will tell the window module where it is in it's travel.
You need to have the door closed while doing this."

See if you can push the window down manually the rest of the way. If so you need a new window regulator. I just replaced this on my 98 a few weeks ago.

I got the part from Sunset for about $175 including shipping.

After opening the door, if you can push the window down the 1/2 inch it's suppose to drop , then it's a stretched regulator cable. There is a Temp Fix if you search or you need to replace the regulator. I put in a spacer in the cable stop and that lets my window drop about a 1/4 inch, just enough to allow the door to open and close

The radio thing, yes if you disconnect the battery, you need to enter in the radio code
