    1995 325ic windows not dropping

    Windows used to drop when opening and go up when closing the doors. After battery died and replaced, no longer works. Tried doing window reset via key lock and via holding down buttons. Neither worked. Looked at micro switch, when I pressed manually, nothing happened. Maybe an electrical problem? All fuses intact. Hopefully don't have to open door panel. Any help appreciated!

    Did you replace the battery or just charge it with it connected to the car? Low voltage makes funny things happen. I would completely disconnect the battery, ensure it's fully charged then hook back up and see what happens.

    Thanks for your message. New battery was installed after the battery died and it still doesn't work...

    Does it work on the passenger side? If not, possibly a bad micro switch.

    Does not work on either side. Worked before the battery died and had to get a new one...

    I'd say try the window reset again.

    Only other thing I can think is maybe it doesn't know the top is up? May want to do a top resynch also.
