Default Window issue: drops when opens the door but won't go up!

I noticed this today. My passenger open his door and it dropped like it's supposed to. But when he closed it, it didn't roll back up. I pulled the door lever and it dropped some more. Everytime I pulled the handle it dropped a little more. I got back in and turned the key and I could roll the window up with my driver's side control, but when I went over to close the door again, the same thing happened.

I'm hoping it'll be all better when i go to drive home today, but the realist in me thinks I won't be so lucky.

Anyone had this happedn to them before. Any idea on the culprit?

Thanks.

You need to reprogram the window. To do this you push the window down button and hold until you hear or feel a click. Then push the window button for the window to close and hear or feel the click. This should be done when you are in the car and the door is closed. The window should operate properly by opening a slight bit when the door is opened and close when the door is closed.
This problem is often caused by a weak battery voltage. 10.5 or below they loose memory settings.

I hope this helps!
