opened the passenger door on my car today to get somthing out ,when I shut the door it would not shut properly..the window was fully up so the glass was hitting the trim.when you pull the handle even with the door open the glass goes down about half inch when release it goes back up..have to let the window down from the drivers controls to shut door the sent it up..tried to reset but still the same..any help would be usefull..
the big hammer is standing by
looked at sams videos and know how to remove panel and adjust window..going to have a go thursday

 

Sounds more like an electronic issue..do not do any mechanical adjustments yet or you might create bigger headaches.

-How are you doing the 'reset'

-What is the voltage across your battery terminals?

 

thanks for the quick reply..
ignition on window all the way down still holding button wait for click.. window all the way up still holding button..wait for click..
done this before so I know im doing it ok..done it on the drivers door when its lost its mem..battery in good condition..winter here so i make sure batt 100%..any ideas?

 

Is the door shut when you do the reset procedure?

Also, check your battery engine off with a digital meter...anything less than 12.5 volts would be suspect.

 

yes door shut for reset will check batt in the morning with a meter and repost..thanks for your replys

 

because its cold now its winter..this morning i had the heated seat..rear window demist..stereo.. heater..and i only make short trip to work and back..could be low batt.will charge at work in morning..thanks

 

The window is sometimes the low battery indicator on the XK

 

Well known problem.The "Door Open" Switch in the lock assembly (inside the door) has failed. A number of posts on this. There are several switches on the Lock Assembly.

 

Agreed, but a battery check is prudent before diving into the door.

 

When you open the door do the interior lights come on, and do you get a message in the display that says the door is open? If not, you have a bad switch in the door latch. I have a video which shows how to replace it.

 

Sam..looked at your vids cant find one that shows how to fix switch problem only one that shows how to adjust window so that you can shut the door..HELP may be i cant see the woods for the trees
Thanks

 

found it..cant see for lookin..very good thanks

 

I have found a door lock mech that may be the one i need.. but need help the part number for the one ive found is GJA1081FJ is this the one for a 02 xkr?the one on my parts list has dg instead of fj any one know

 

You don't need to buy the whole latch. The switch itself is available separately. The part number is in another thread somewhere.

 

thanks sam ill look for it

 

found th post
printed it out will get swich and have a go
many thanks

 

I would have bet the ranch that the battery was getting weak. That's the way my windows acted when the guage showed less then 11 volts with ignition on and dropped to 10 volts while cranking. New battery problem solved. Jack

 

ordered 2 switches will be here wednesday..if you look into the lock from the side you can see thr switch..mine has now gone intermitant so come on now and again and sets the alarm off..will have to take it out intill the new ones arrive

 

The hardest part about removing the latch is getting the rods that go from the outside handle down to the latch disconnected. The ends are made of plastic and they just snap on to the latch mechanism, but it is hard to pop them off, and I ended up breaking one of the plastic bits in the process. I was able to repair it simply by drilling a hole in the plastic piece, then I lined up the hole I had drilled with the hole in the lever on the latch and I zip tied them together.

 

I actually like that big font we used above. I'm apparently going to need reading glasses soon.
