Default one-touch roll-up windows = borked

So to install my boost gauge (OMG!!! +13 HORSEPOEWR) I ran one of the wires to the battery, for a constant 12v source. Needless to say, I unplugged the battery in order to prevent certain things from going kaboom.

Now that I reconnected the battery, both of my one-touch rollup windows didn't work. After sliding my passenger-side down and up once, it works with one-touch now... but the driver's side doesn't. Any suggestions on what I should do?

why didn't you tap into your lights(power source) from the vent's?


but no other than maybe you need to drain the battery and try again

kraut, I needed a constant signal. I tapped into the vent lights for an ignition and a ground; but you can't wire a constant to them. I'm not even sure what the hell is going on, one of the windows works just fine...

Yes. And therefore with every upgrade, six things break.

Remember how my fan broke? What the **** was that? It's gotten better now, but it still knocks. No more grinding though.

After you reset the battery you just need to roll your windows all the way down, then all the way up and it will make the one-touch work. I'm not sure why, but this has worked for me.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks

If it doesn't work I'm going to flip ****. I didn't buy a ******* Honda Civic with leather interior, I bought a damn Audi!
