Express Window Programming and Setup

Anytime battery power is lost or if the power window motor is replaced, the express down and express up features must be relearned.

Follow the procedure below to program the power windows:

* Ignition ON, lower each window to the full down position and hold each window switch at the full down position for 5 seconds.

* Raise each window to the full up position and hold each window switch at the full up position for 5 seconds.

* Verify that the express down and express up feature are working by pressing the power window switch past its first detent and releasing and pulling the power window switch past its first detent and releasing. If the express down and express up functions are successfully relearned, the power window should roll completely down and roll completely up.
