My drivers side window doesn't work properly. When I close the window using the express auto open, the window goes all the up but then goes right back down to where I closed it from...

Anyone have experience with this? I asked a service tech and he says it has to be hooked up to the computer and it costs $100. Any insite?

 

You can try putting the window up manually and when you get it to the top hold it going up for 5 seconds then let go. Then do the same thing going down. See if that will fix it.

 

Ran outside to try it, but unfortunately didn't work. Thanks for the reply.

 

Sorry sometimes it works sometimes it does not.

 

I assume it is not something mechanically wrong when both having problem at the same time. Window goes down half way after hit the top. I took it to the dealer and they say it needs "calibrate" cost one hour labor $110-$120. Anyone knows how to do the "calibration"?

 

It can only be done with the Volvo computer.

 

Keep trying the 5 second thing. Try it both at the top and the bottom of the window cycle. We have had the problem with the express window feature on and off for a while. Right now it is working....but the transmission is deader than dead....given the two, I'd rather have a working transmission.

I'll keep trying the 5 sec thing for now. After winter I might just have to bring it to Volvo. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

TOTALLY! I thought I was being picky because the dealer said that "sometimes the sensor loses its (something or other) and resets" but it happens all the time! I don't use the window in question (front passenger) enough to get a repair quote, but you are NOT alone!

 

The sensor needs to be reset. You almost had it with the 5 second thing, but missed a step.
Find your manual and locate the fuse for the appropriate window. find a tool appropriate to pull the fuse. A small needle nose should do. A plastic tool is best. In the XC90 the fuse panel is on the driver side of the dash, and is fuse#5.
1. turn ignition to on. (Do not start motor)
2. Hold tool ready to pull fuse.
3. While running window down, pull fuse. Window will stop about 1/2 way.
4. Turn off ignition & replace fuse.
5. Turn on ignition & bring window the rest of the way down by holding swithch.
6. Bring window all the way up & continue to hold swith in up position for 5 seconds after window has closed all the way.

Your window should now be working properly.

 

Thanks to the suggestion for 5 secs up and 5 down to reset mine w/o
havng to remove the fuse...

 

My 2004 xc90 driver side door and window lock do not work, only occasionally.In morning when i push the lock remote on my key chain it sometimes works.

 

I think the post by sabyegrp was right on point it worked for me.
