Out of winter storage early but gremlins are lurking

Woke up today and the sun was shining bright here in vancouver so i decided to play hooky from work and take my DB9 out of storage. I was like a kid rolling up to an amusement park as i arrived to my storage garage. I carefully remove my car cover disconnected my tickle charger and went to start her up. click click click nothing. Battery was dead

Its 11am and the plan was to drive up around and over whistler and come back into town through Pemberton and Hope. I frantitcally plugged my tickle charger back in and ripped the batter out. Carelessly forgetting that the trick charger was plugged in i shorted out my positive battery terminal. Regardless i ran over to the local automotive battery shop in richmond call federal batteries best place for batteries in the lower mainland and is also an authorize odyssey deep cycle battery wholesaler. I cheapped out and just got the regular OE replacement for $120.00 quite a steal i think.

Off i went back to the storage locker to installed the battery and the darn thing started right up. I hopped in and had a breath taking drive up to squamish where i stopped at a place called Mag 99 for the best chicken and waffles around. Unfortunately they were closed due to a break in last night. I was not happy and off to McDonalds i went.

After lunch i decided the drive up over and around whistler was a little too ambitious. Plus i was feeling quite noxious after the drive up the windy highway to squamish so i decided to turn back and just drive into granville island for fresh oysters and groceries.

Now the bad news.... I went to surprise the old lady and picked her up from work. I went and opened the door for her and the window made a noise i just assumed it was stuck on the seal but then when i went to shut the door it wouldn't close properly. I realized that the auto roll up and down of the window when opening and closing the door is failing.

What a buzz kill to an awesome drive and a crazy day. Now I'm home with all the oysters shucked and no appetite. Instead of eating them I am writing this post aka an important work email i have to send out haha. Any tips on how to reset the window module guys.... Thanks

Roll the window down and hold the button in the Down position for several seconds. Repeat in the Up motion. Repeat for other door.

Wow you got yours out of storage already? It's -11 with wind chill here (Michigan) with lots of salt on the road. No way I'm taking my baby out until all that's cleared up. Sure do wish it was warmer! I'm definitely getting the itch.
