Try holding the window switch up for 3 seconds with power on, this should reset the window.

This has got to rank pretty high as the most asked question on the forum (behind valve guides). Search is your friend.

Yep, the above should fix it. When I was having a ton of battery issues (tested out to be a bad battery), my window indexing would regularly stop working. Follow the steps above and all will be good.

thanks team great info ill do that , yes i have been having trouble with battery we cant get a decent batteries here in new zealand i seem to wear them out car is lucky if it does 1000ks a year , i have a battery minder hooked up as well, the other trouble ive been having is after ive been out for a drive to charge up battery then stop at the shops somewhere , then go to restart it it really struggles to start which seems to throw it into a hissy fit , traction warning comes on goes into limp mode , so if you pull over stop for ten minutes then restart it comes right again , is that my battery ya reckon ? or i read somewhere the starters get heat sink into them ?

Could be starter/solenoid failing, they do act-up [more] in hot climates.
Get it in air on lift, closely inspect starter/solenoid w/ a flashlight.
Look for any sign of burnt connecting posts, Bakelite gets brittle, cracks.
Use an insulted pliers & gently tug each post insuring they're secure.
In fact post check's best be done w/ battery disconnected.
Inadvertently short against anything & there'll be real headaches.

This is not an uncommon problem, FWIW.
Check, rule-out before going deeper.
Might get lucky, nail this bug straight-away.
