Resetting / Initializing Windows after battery disconnect

TomBMW · 11-18-2016, 09:28 PM

Hey guys, my windows are not going up like it was before I disconnected my battery. I followed several instructions, including this one:

Anyone have any ideas on what the procedure is for the F82 M4? It's driving me nuts.

Thanks!

That is the correct procedure for the M4

With the doors closed
1) Move the window to lowest position
2) Then push the window switch all the way down (2 clicks) for 20 seconds
3) Roll the window all the way up by pulling the switch all the way up ( 2 clicks ) and holding it there untill the window is full closed

Here's the official procedure extracted from ISTA. Funny thing, I've disconnected my battery on few occasions and didn't have to do the procedure!

Disconnected my battery and I was baffled that my drivers window wouldn’t auto-up. Quick search and I found this thread....thank god! video worked like a charm!

New to me 2016 M4. My windows will go down with one touch but they won’t go up without holding the button. I’ve tried this procedure 3 times now. Any ideas?
