You have to do the reset at the affected doors, not from the master panel.

 

some time last week i killed my battery and now i can not lower my rear windows from driver control unit. They will go down if operated from window switch next to windows. this happened once before when my old battery was beyond replacement but once i replaced it worked fine. any help thanks

 

Did you try the reset?

 

thank you so much shit was driving me crazy !!

 

Holy hell that was easily the issue with the least attempted searches. I merged 22 threads. Please do a search before starting a new thread.

 

I didn't quite hold with all of the answers, because some answers contained variations on my situation. The right answer was among those above but I wasn't sure. I got the manual for my 2004 Acura TL and read everything about keys. I wasn't sure how 4 of my windows got rolled down at the same time and my sunroof rolled back. I recalled solving the mystery once before years back, but couldn't remember how. Having read the manual, I deduced I had pushed the open door button twice while approaching the car. I drove 30 miles home with those windows down knowing I'd have to solve this myself on a Friday night. The correct answer is I must have pushed the open button a second time and held it to cause the 4 partially rolled down windows and open sunroof. I was slightly afraid someone had hacked my car. After reading the manual I walked to the car, put the key into the car door, turned the key counter-clockwise in the lock, held it there for 5 seconds, all the windows rolled up and the sunroof closed perfectly. Thanks for your help everyone!

 

I noticed some time ago that my rear windows not working, I always planned on looking into it and never did. Yesterday, I decided to see if there were Forums for Acura like there are for Lexus. I found this site and just started looking at the post titles, I came across this post tried what was documented and it worked great. After reading through I determined it was due to replacing the battery a few months back. So thanks everyone you saved me probably hours looking at all the physical side of things that would not have lead me anywhere. BTW, I have seen some complaints about battery life and this was my 1st battery on a 08 RL with 100k miles or so, I do not think this is bad for a PA car and he had some bad winters over the previous years.

 

My rear passenger window won't go down using either the master unit or the rear. What can be the problem? I believe my regulator still work because I hear a clicking noise when I try to putting down the window.

 

Did you do the reset?

 

reset? Holding down the unit in the rear for 5 sec for window to go down? Window does not roll down or up. Is there another way to reset

 

The reset described in this thread over and over again. Turn the car on. Go to the door with the window in question. Hold the button down until the window goes down and keep holding for 5 seconds. Pull the button up until the window goes up and keep holding for 5 seconds.

If your window does not respond, the button may be broken.
If the reset does not fix the issue, you may have pushed and pulled too hard. There are two thresholds for the window button. The first stops when you release. The second goes into auto mode. You want "stop on release" pressure.



If that doesn't work, go for "auto mode" pressure because I got it backwards.

 

For some reason my automatic window feature is not working. When you push unlock once and push it again and hold it all for Windows unlock and the sunroof opens. It was working up until a few days ago and now when I push it nothing happens. Also on the inside, my back right driver window switch is not working. It works from the passenger rear right side but it doesn't work from the driver side window panel. Any ideas?

 

They go hand in hand. You have to replace he rear driver side window actuator if it's not going down. Then your auto down will work again

 

Damn, okay....how hard is the install to do?

 

Now it's working perfectly fine. It stopped working for 2 days and now it works I just tried it. I'm going to get a new one anyways cuz it's got to be going bad

 

Not hard at all, there should be DIY's on here to remove the door panel and it should just be a bolt or two

 

Well it decided to work now lol

 

Please, please, please, do a search. The complete thread about this is on page one. I'm merging your thread into it.

 

My bad. I am doing it while driving so I don't have much time to search around. I did a couple quick searches but I kept leading me to non related things

 

should probably stop doing that..

 

...then it wouldn't be such an active forum...it would be like a library....quiet, used for research only. It's good people socialize even if it's a repetitive issue...no prob....I wanna hear about this dang supercharged acura RL

 

I hope he meant posting and driving.

 

LOL yeah

 

I was able to preform this tonight and success,. I am off to find why my remote or key will not open all windows and doors with the all function. Thank you.

QUOTE=jfarabaugh;10303956]you can reset the windows yourself. press and hold the button to put the window the whole way down then hold for 5 seconds after the window is down. let go of the button. press and hold the button to put the window the whole way up then hold for 5 seconds after the window is up. your windows should now be reset and can be controled from the drivers window controls. I had to perform it just tonight to be able to control the passenger windows from my drivers door controls[/QUOTE]

My window all of the sudden started working. So weird

 

I know this thread is 8+ years old but I have to say thanks to everyone that posted on the "reset" procedure. I was ready to rip the door panel off and start testing switches.
My exact issue was I couldn't control the two rear windows from the driver side master control but the rear windows would travel up and down by the switch in each door. Based on what was written here it worked and all is right in the world (at least my car windows world).

For those who may still be looking for exact instructions (This was on my 2008 RL)

1- started car
2- opened the drivers side rear door
3- using the drivers side rear door switch I held the window control button down until the window was completely lowered and while still holding it I counted out load 1..2..3..4..5..6..7...8
4- I took my finger off the drivers side rear door switch
5- Then I put my finger on the same button and pulled up to raise the window to the fully closed position and while still holding it up I counted out loud 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8
6- I let go of the drivers side rear door switch
7- I shut the drivers side rear door
8- I opened the drivers door and on the drivers door master switch I press the switch for the rear drivers side window and it worked. I tried up and down.

I then repeated steps 2-8 for the passengers side rear door

I then turned the car off and went inside to write a big thank you to everyone post.

I hope this helps the next reader.

 

The thread isn't really 8 years old. I got tired of the same question coming up so I merged the ten or so threads on the same topic together. Thanks for searching.

 

Made an appointment to take my car back to dealership because rear windows not going down from drivers seat. There was talk about replacing the switch, etc. Glad I came to Acurazine first. Reset fix worked flawlessly. Appointment cancelled.
Thanks once again Acurazine

 

Thanks to everyone on this site! I performed the window reset function, from each window, and everything is good to go...the only thing now is the driver window doesn't work...is there a special reset procedure for that? Sorry in advance if this has been answered already

 

If it doesn't work at all, it could just be the window regulator is bad.

 

This, or a bad master switch/connection at that switch? If you have a multimeter, you could check that the input to the regulator is getting power. That would rule out a switch or wire issue and pin it to the regulator.

 

Reset worked for me also yesterday, due the timing belt job battery was connected off and after that rear windows didnt work.

 

my driver's side won't go down, and when i hold the button and it just double clicks. all the other windows work fine.

I have recently replaced the battery and everything else on the car seems to be ok.

 

 

I have the exact same problem. Did you have any success in solving it?

 

I am confuses, hold down which window button?? The reear window on my ILX will not open from the back or master, so what do I do?

 

Just a bump to thank you for this. Original owner of a '05 that's been sitting, literally, since November of 2019 and dropped a battery in it today and got it out on the road. Made note of the issues, some small and one not so small, and remembered having seen about the windows thing here so searched and found it! Just got back from fixing THAT issue and wanted to say thanks, however belated.

 

This is Goode handy in bit of information to know, but none of them are going up or down from my driver side switches so I can’t get them to move either way to do the reset. I could do it on the door of the ones that are working, but the other two I can’t do anything with and one of them is the driver’s door so how do I reset them then please don’t tell me it’s dealership time.

 

…in theory. I tried that by accident didn’t realize I was opening everything (or trying to open everything) because I thought I was opening up the liftgate for my best friend but instead the moonroof and the two working (at their door switch) windows opened, but the two windows that don’t work (including the driver side window where the switches aren’t working for the other three windows and the child lock is off) stay closed.

2017 RDX Advance.

I’m gonna check the child lock on the door jam and see if that’s the problem right now, but I don’t think it is or it would’ve went down whenever I held the button down by mistake instead of liftgate button, right?
