Easy way to fix Toyota car windows that won't roll down

How to fix Toyota Corolla car windows that will not roll down. My driver's window would go up and down but all 3 of my other Toyota windows would not work, they would not go up or down. I guessed the motors were good as it was unlikely all 3 window motors would go bad at the same time. I checked the fuses and they were all good. I was getting ready to take the door apart so I could check the switches. I did some more research and found that on Toyota cars if you disconnect the car's battery this may disable your windows and you will need to reset them. This is done by operating your window switch at each door by pressing down for 5 seconds and then up for 5 seconds. I repeat, do it at the switch at each door, not at the main switch on the driver's door for each door. I did not have to have my engine on but I did have the key turned so the lights were on in the dashboard.
I tried it several times and it did not work at first. I may have been pushing on one of the rear switches in the wrong way, I think I was pushing it to go up first and should have been pushing it to go down first as the window was already closed.
The sequence I tried that seemed to work was the driver window first and then the rear driver-side window, then the rear passenger-side window, and then the front passenger-side window. All switches were activated at each individual door. I also tried pushing the window lock button very hard in the hope it may have been stuck.
Eventually, after the fifth time, I heard one of the window motors click. I repeated the sequence and the windows all operated correctly.
In the very beginning, I was turning the key off after activating the switch sequence and then turning the key back on before trying the windows. This did not work, so I ran the sequence and tried the windows without turning the key off and back on.
After all the windows became operational I added silicone spray to the side window tracks to help the windows move more smoothly. Both of the rear windows would not close 100%, a little bit stuck up but I am happy, the main thing is they now open and close.
I know I did maintenance on my battery a while back so I think either disconnecting the battery shut down my three windows or I just got lucky and the switches were bad and my repeated attempts at operating the window switches and maybe even the window lock button helped fix the problem.
I hope this helps you guys. I know it sounds like a joke but I was getting ready to take my car apart. Look up the Toyota window reset to find more information on the internet. It seems to be a common problem, I did not think it would occur in my car as it is very old- a 1994 Corolla.

I’ve been at trying everything to fix my passenger window working from my drivers main switch and just happened to stumble on this and say screw it it’s worth a try and bam she’s working like no other. 2018 Tacoma and this works like a charm. Tried in 2022 you’re the man!!

[walksuponwater]

My Tacoma same problem one window down but not up, I was watching all theses step by steps on removing panels and knew that would take a lot of time then saw yours, tried it and it worked! in 4 seconds it was fixed! Thanks a ton Robb!

[NoKontentKarma]

Omg thank you much! I literally just had an auto electrician fixing my car and forgot to ask him about this! And you way worked! You are a gem!

[Yakavadi]

Omg, you are genius, 4 years after posting this, today you helped me fix my car, Thanks a lot.

[Rigdawg]

Your video is still helping folks! Had a dead battery yesterday. Got in today and my dawg was pissed that he couldn’t stick his head out. Thanks!

[annecox]

Thank you so much. My front passenger window got stuck all the way down. I reset the way you described and lo and behold, my window came up and closed. Thanks so much for your help.

[luishdez]

Idk how, but it worked! My passenger rear window would not rolled down from the driver's door master panel. Followed this video and bam, like it never happened. Thank you!

[jeannethompson]

It worked. This winter I had a new battery put in my 1995 Toyota celiac . Today it’s beautiful in Illinois and only the drivers side window would go down. I found your utube video and did what you said and it worked. Thanks

[NicholasUnger]

I did this and it worked!! I just got my car back from the body shop and thought I’d have to take it back! I have a 2020 Corolla for context. Thank you!!!

[SJLMAC]

Thanks this was driving me crazy couldn’t put windows down from driver panel. Now works thanks. Stay safe. Best wishes from Scotland

Front passenger window didn’t work so I tried this and it worked wonderfully on my 2017 Tacoma! Thank you!

[harukawa]

Thanks so much for this. Worked perfectly the first time. Thought needed to take off the door panel to see what was going on. Saved wasted time and effort.

I was ready to buy a new window controller for my 2017 Camry...thanks for keeping me from wasting money! Works as it should now.

In my case, it was only the front passenger door not functioning from the driver control panel. To start, I turned the key over to get the dash lights but didn't start the car. I didn't use the driver controls to start, I rolled down the passenger side window from the passenger side (5 seconds) then rolled it back up (five seconds). After that, tried the driver side control for that window and it works along with the other three!

[lganeshan]

Omg it worked!!! I had an issue on my right rear window and it wasn't going down ever since I changed my battery. And my vehicle is a Toyota Camry 2018. After following your tutorial, it worked! Thank you so much!

[OneNne]

Solid! I messed with it for 3 hrs. Then saw this video and it worked.

[rebeccanewell]

It worked on my 2018 Toyota 4Runner! Thank you so much for doing the research and posting this video, I had changed out my battery and was wondering why my windows wouldn't go down.

[cdavtube]

Hey found your video by chance... i have a Toyota camry 2020, got same issue with only rear passenger window not rolling down from the main switch... I just pressed down for 5 seconds on the rear driver door and up for 5 seconds... worked like a charm...

Thank you... you save me a trip to the stealership

Thank you for uploading this video. My mum has a 2006 Corolla hatch. I tried your fix and it worked perfectly. The problem my mum had was that only the front driver side window was working from the cluster of switches near the driver. All other windows were operating, but only from their respective switches. I actually held the switches down or up for 5 seconds after the window was fully open or closed. And, the order I followed was driver side front, passenger side front, passenger side rear, then driver side rear. I think the order or sequence doesn't matter.

By the way, I'm from Australia, which has a right hand side drive. So, this reset method may work for any 2006 Corolla.

I had high hopes for this fix for my 2003 Camry! I tried it once with the keyset to accessory...nope. Tried it with the battery disconnected... nope. Tried it with the car running... THAT'S when I discovered I have a button that LOCKS THE WINDOWS! 🤣🤣🤣 So now they all work again!! Thanks for the video!

Dude you saved me some serious trouble. Was about to purchase a TIS subscription to get schematics and trace the circuit from the master switch over to the passenger side front. I did this procedure and albeit skeptical, it totally worked! 2017 Camry LE.
