How to Set Up Remote Window Control?
2 Answers
Window remote control setup method: 1. Turn on the ignition switch, and use the switch to open the power window halfway. 2. Fully push up the switch until the power window is completely closed, and keep the switch pressed for 3 to 5 seconds after the window is fully closed. The window control should be reset under the following circumstances: 1. When replacing or reinstalling the multiplex network master switch, multiplex network switch, multiplex network door ECU wiring harness, or power window regulator motor. 2. When replacing fuses or relays related to power window control. Unless the power window regulator motor is reset, the "AUTO" operation function, anti-pinch function, and remote control operation function of the multiplex network master switch will not work.
Last time I helped a friend set up the remote control for the windows, it took quite a while. The main method is usually achieved by programming the key. The general steps are to sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the position just before starting the engine—where the dashboard lights up but the engine doesn’t start. Then, press and hold the window button for a few seconds until you see the window move slightly before releasing it, which puts the system into learning mode. Next, quickly press the button up and down a few times to let the computer memorize the positions. Finally, turn off the key and test the remote—pressing the unlock button or a specific button should now open or close the windows. Be careful, though; if you make a mistake midway, you might need to start over, especially if the car isn’t turned off or the door is open, as these can cause failures. I’ve also encountered different methods for different car models—Japanese cars might be simpler, while European cars can be more complex. It’s best to check the owner’s manual or search online for a tutorial specific to your model. If you really can’t figure it out, it’s safest to go to a 4S shop, as messing it up yourself might affect the wiring or even blow a fuse. Overall, this feature is quite convenient—remotely opening the windows for ventilation is very practical.
