try getting in, start as usual.
roll window full down
then hold the button down for like 5 seconds.
roll window up
hold button up for 5 seconds
see if auto up down and auto drop are resumed......


seems like it lost initialization somehow
This worked perfectly for my rear window. Appreciate it!

Wow, wish I had seen this earlier. I started a new thread because when I did a search, nothing turned up (obviously I didn't use the right words).

My Bronco has had this problem multiple times and has been to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out either or the problem just went away.

Going to print this out and save it in my Bronco for the next time it happens.

It’s 10 second up,down,up in acc or whatever the newest term for on but not running is. This may work in the short term. If you keep having this issue you will need your window motors replaced. Just had the 2 on the driver side replaced bc of this same issue.

It has happened 3 times on my passenger rear door, once on the passenger front door and once on the driver rear door.

I have the 7 year 100k warranty on the Bronco, if it keeps happening, I will push for motor replacement.

I believe down up down works too, it’s just the process that resets the window module.

Thanks for posting this, just had my driver's rear window quit going down when opening the door. Followed this procedure and it worked like a charm!

And for those that this doesn’t work, the dealer can reset it also. Unfortunately, that’s what I had to do when mine stopped dropping.

Apparently there is a module update that helps address this.

I need to find time to see if my dealer will do it.
