BMW E36 initialize windows anti-pinch and one-touch anti pinch one touch by froggy

I show how to initialize the windows on an E36 BMW. This is required anytime the battery is disconnected or power (fuse etc.) is cut to the window motor.

hi, I have a 1994 325i convertible passenger side window go up too much when i open the door or when door is open and i pull up the window

+Rafael Martinez Sounds like the regulator needs to be adjusted or replaced.:)

thanks Froggy....but mine(driver and passenger fronts DO NOT go down now. The convertible top wants to "strain" on the first step of retraction...seems like it's getting hung on the 2 front windows...any suggestions...Thanks again, Rick

+Rick Walker Alignment and/or lubrication. Vert tops are commonly out of alignment as they are quite "complicated" in how they fold.:)

I just wanted to thank you so much. I replaced my motor gear toady and when I replaced it did not do one touch up or pinch. I assumed I burned out the computer while the motor was bad. This info gave me a window that works 100 percent correctly again with no money spent. Again, thank you.

froggy I have an issue with my passenger windows on my 1996 328i convertible bmw.I have changed the motor, yet when I press the button,still the window does not work.i have taken in to have looked at ,and was told it was the computer.can you help me w/ that.could it be that it needs to be initialized,even though I was told by the garage it needed a new computer.and if so, where is this computer located,and what is the name of it and can I put it on myself.this ordeal w/ the motor already cost me $400.00

This is just a guess, but it sounds like the switch on the door. Works in one direction & not in the other. Tell them to bypass the switch & put power to the motor bothe directions, they should know how to do this, or just take another switch from one of the other doors that works and attach (splice) it into the pass side window circuit.Good luck.If you have back doors with same switch maybe have them move one to the front for temp. fix.:)

+froggy the passenger's side window is up,when I press the button to go up,i hear a click sound,when I press it down I hear nothing.also even before the motor was changed it did the exact same thing.it seems to be getting electricity to go up ,but not down.today I am planning on going back to the garage,but not sure I am going to get anywhere with it.if you have anymore suggestions,please let me know,i need help.

Here is another video on windows.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtFVovR6NDI&index=32&list=PLfoM8sA3HHbwwOIUE0ag_A2DYVM99lnBEI don't know of any particular "computer" that would make the window work or not work. Is the window switch on the door working? I think the garage you went to could be one of those "throw a part at it and see if it works" places. Doesn't sound like they have a clue. I would go back (bring a friend) and tell them their "fix" did not do anything. Tell them to get the window working & you want credit for the $400 motor it did not need.:)BMW's are an expensive pain to repair & they break a lot. Nice when new.
