Windows and sunroof will not operate...

I just had the door card off to adjust the mechanical alignment of the window. Window was rolling up and down okay, but was to far aft and was hitting the rear side window. After reassembly i attempted the window reset procedure to reset the electrical stops and all seemed fine. But then when I closed to door the adjusted window rolled down 2" and now neither window operates. I walked away to BBQ, drink and light fireworks. I plan to look into again tomorrow.

Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.

Good call, Slider. It was the fuse.

Now I am having issues getting the window to electrically reset the close and open. After I open and close the door the window drops by a third. I am guessing a mechanical adjustment to the stops needs to be made. The window regulator is new. Grrr. PITA!

You did the reset procedure right? You would think that would compensate if it goes fully up and down...

Got it fixed. It was the mechanical adjustment. Basically you have to open the door and with the window up you trigger the door latch with a screw driver so the door things it's closed. Partially close the door with the window up and check the tilt(fore and aft) and height. You can compare to the working side the same way. Adjust the mechanical height stops via the two for and aft 5mm screws accessible from the bottom with the window down. So you roll up to check, then down to adjust. Took me less than 15 minutes once I knew what needed to be done. It works perfect now. My stops were letting the window roll too far up and the electronic reset was freaking out. All good now.
