Last updated:
After the battery on your Jaguar F-Type (2013–present) has been disconnected or gone flat, the one-touch function on the windows often stops working — the glass only moves while you hold the switch. Re-initialising each window restores it in seconds, with no tools. (The F-Type’s frameless windows also drop slightly when you open the door, so a correct relearn matters.)
When You Need This
Each window motor stores its fully-open and fully-closed positions, and that memory is cleared when the 12 V battery is disconnected or runs flat. On a coupe/convertible with frameless glass, you may also notice the auto drop/raise on opening the door stops working until you relearn.
Re-initialising a Window
- Pull the switch up to fully close the window, holding briefly after it stops, then release.
- Press the switch down to fully open it, again holding briefly after it stops, then release.
- Pull up to fully close once more, holding a few seconds at the top, then release.
- Test one-touch up and down, and repeat for the other window.
If It Still Won’t Auto-Close
- Hold the switch past the end stop in each direction — the motor must feel the limit to learn it.
- Check the glass runs freely and the frameless seal isn’t catching.
- Persistent fault? A window-module issue can store a code — look it up on autodtcs.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my F-Type windows stop auto-closing?
The one-touch memory is cleared when the battery is disconnected or goes flat — the relearn restores it (and the frameless auto-drop on door open).
Do I need tools?
No — it’s done entirely from the window switch.
Which order, up or down?
Fully close and hold, fully open and hold, then fully close and hold again.
Why does the glass drop when I open the door?
That’s normal for the frameless windows — it clears the seal; the relearn keeps it working correctly.
