BMW E65 power window not moving or stuck
745i
E65 power window won't move and the instrument cluster says 'window not initialized' - what to do?
First check the connector between the door and the body: if it has partly come loose, disconnect it, clean it and reconnect it. Then initialise the window by holding the glass in the down position for 5 or 17 seconds once it has reached its lowest point.
Why does the power window stick in cold weather or move in the wrong direction?
The glass may have gone in too tight. In that case the regulator motor is removed and the glass is pressed down slightly. A light tap on the motor with a hammer has helped get it moving. The motor must be installed the right way round, otherwise the glass moves in the wrong direction.
Does a new window regulator need to be programmed on the E65?
When the driver's door regulator was replaced, the new regulator did not need to be programmed. The window worked when installed according to the installation instructions.
