My wifes car just presented this new issue this afternoon. If you pulll up the switch for the drivers-side window to bring the window up it goes up all the way and then goes all the way back down. The auto-up function is not working.

Has anyone had this issue and if so, is it a simple window switch replacement?

Thanks,

JH

Happened to my xc90 as well. Dealer said the battery got drained from inactivity and the ECU reset, so they had to do something to the ECU, maybe reset the function. Not really sure if the battery thing was really the problem, but they resolved it by reprogramming the computer.

I wonder if the dealer left the hood or door open for several hours while they replaced the steering rack and this is what drained the battery. I guess I'll head back to the dealer for the third time.

To the dealer you must go. They will make an adjustment using VIDA.
It happened to mine once, not too uncommon either, but not sure why it happens.

Thanks for response. Why not make it a third trip in two weeks to the dealer...

Check to make sure there are no foreign objects or bits of debris jammed up inside the window tracks. Cleaning out the window tracks if needed, could save a dealer visit.

What's happening is that the auto-up function employs anti-pinch sensing which will reverse the motion of the window glass if any foreign object(s) like, say, one's hand gets in the way before said window glass has fully closed.

Buddy you don't want to hear my saga of late and I'm right there with ya. Been in 2 times for a very odd problem. But I'm pleased to have a GREAT Volvo tech working on it but he's stumped, we're taking it back in Monday

Yep, it's most likely the pinch sensor out of alignment. Had this problem once, can't remember why, it just started happening ('05 XC90, driver's side). Think you'll find, if you move the switch and hold it (or twitch it) once it's up, it will stay up but auto will not work on it's own. While techs were sorting this out, one of them mentioned the possibility of holding the button in up position after window closes for 45 seconds or so. Think this works for the rears and may work for the fronts but it was near closing for the dealer and there wasn't too much time to play with it. At any rate, after a few failed attempts, VADIS window reset was the answer but there was some talk that holding it might have in fact resolved the issue. Been awhile but that's what I recall and could be worth a try before heading back to the dealer...
