Windows and door lock
Hey.. new problem, seems like one a month..
So, unlocked the car to open the bonnet (to fix something else.. thats done..) but the passenger window didnt automatically go down to clear the trim in order to open smoothly. Then, it appears the passenger window actually will not go down at all with the use of either button. Plus the door is very reluctant to unlock. There is no window lowering when i use the external handle (expected as i disconnected the battery in order to do a hard reset, normally happens when the window limits arent set..)
Have also pulled fuses and checked, no fuse issue... this happened a while ago before.. but sorted itself out evidently only for a while.. so.. thoughts? 1999 xkr..

Dont shoot me, was just getting troubleshoot started. You just jumped right in there, good for you.
Verify power to door. Some have found bad connection at doors input connection.
If you have latch out, please check for 12volts at connector. Check for 12v at window button connector (ignition switched). 12 volts at lock switch (battery).

Just thought of something. If you have latch out, the connector to its micro switch is free. This micro switch is normally open or closed ( I forget, info available here with search). Ok don't roll your eyes, as I type I realize it's got to be normally open / door closed, or the puddle lights would have lit the moment you unplugged it.
If you have 12v to the door, short across the connector. It'll look like a properly working closed door switch.
Let us know.

Hey, if you need a way to hold the glass up as you work on it, just grab one of those Irwin Tools Quick grip clamps you probably have laying around for woodworking. It hardly takes any pressure to prevent the glass from slipping down. Works great.
