- Turn the ignition key to position II.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my windows stop auto-closing?
Disconnecting the battery or pulling the window fuse wipes the one-touch memory, so the window must be re-taught its travel.
Do I have to do each window separately?
Yes — repeat the procedure for every window that has lost one-touch.
There’s still no one-touch after I finish.
Run the steps again and hold each position until the window reaches the very end of its travel; the motor has to see the full stroke to learn it.
If a window still won’t operate, a motor or switch fault may log a code — check it on autodtcs.com.
