Power window anti-trap function
Just got this warning today after window being frozen and not going down this morning. Now it's stuck in the door open position and won't move. It's and 09 and had a new window motor put in about 2 years ago. Does anyone have any tips or help resetting it? I have look it up and tried a few things but nothing is working!

This procedure will reset the windows limits so that when you open the door the window will drop the 1/4 inch.
- Sit in the car, and put the key in position 1, so you have power to the windows. - Push and hold down the window switch, and keep it held down for 5 seconds after the window is all the way down. This re-sets the memory, telling the motor, in effect, “Remember where we are now? ” - Roll window back up, and release switch. - Open door. Marvel at the downward motion of the window. Repeat on other side, if needed. |

Bmw replaced the motor and just said it was faulty. I asked what was wrong with it and they said they don't inspect it, just couldn't get it to respond and changed it. Then a week later it happened again with the same window and I took it back and then they replaced the frm module it's called I think. It is the module that controls the windows. When it's going bad it sends a slight current constantly until it burns the motor up, that's what their reason was. My car is an 09 and this will be the fourth window motor that has been in the car. Another thing I found said that it was a sensor called a hail sensor and the whole sensor needs replaced when it happens but there was never an answer in those posts. Mine happened when there was frost on the Windows and then when it de thawed it wouldn't respond.

Thanks for the response. Same thing happened when my windows went bad, the bmw shop told me its either the motors or the footwell module. Might have to take it to the dealer have them deal with it. If you don't mind I ask, how much did it cost to have the module replaced? My dealer said new they are ~$530 just for the part.

Dealership in Delaware tried to do the same thing when my battery died randomly while under warranty. Just got to fight it a little otherwise the dealership is going to try and make a profit off of you.

Thanks highbrowed
Did a search, came up with this thread. Want to thank highbrowed for info above. After storage with battery out, windows would not drop the 1/4 inch when door opened. All good now.
