You didn't connect something properly. I've taken the door panels off 9, maybe 10 times, I can do it in my sleep, and I'm tellin' ya now, if all you did was a panel swap, something's not connected properly.

QUESTION: Did the replacement panel include a switch? Are you using your original, proven switch or did you change three things at once? (Lock, window switches, door panel)

Once you get the switch working you may need to "calibrate" it to roll up all the way. There is a procedure (simple), but I don't recall how to do it.

You might find something in this list of DIY/FAQ's: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-garage-faq-3g-tl-newbies-553554/

You may also find info on the problem with the switch there as well.

seems silly, but also make sure you don't have the window lock button pushed.

That would be hilarious. I was freaking out one night because my lights were not turning off after I locked the car, I forgot the switch was on

power the window up and hold switch for 3 seconds, power window down and hold switch for 3 seconds, power window up and hold switch for 3 seconds. should work then!

You shouldn't need to do that if you just replace the door panel but I'd try it anyway.

I just had some body work done, and they had removed both panels and I assume disconnected the battery. My driver's side auto up and down was fine, but the passenger side wasn't working. Was going to take it back to get them to fix it, but this worked!

It actually worked after just holding the up, but I still completed the process.

I love easy fixes like this!

Sometimes after disconnecting the battery it needs to re-learn. Just happened to me the other day I put a new battery in and the drivers window wasn't doing the auto up/down so I pulled the (+) off and waited a few seconds then put it back on and it worked again.

This is a common problem in newer cars. Computer controlled features are a little more difficult to troubleshoot than the old mechanical switches of the 90's, but calibration is to blame the majority of the time.
