Reprograms the window motors, pretty simple on the V36.

Manual - pulling the switch to the first click

Auto-pulling the switch to the second click.

Turn ignition switch to ON (do not start the engine).

Roll the window down completely open manually, then hold up on auto until the window fully closes and continue to hold the switch for at least 3 more seconds.

Do this on each door that won't auto up/down.

this worked. And an update on the no start issue. It hasn’t been doing it. I don’t think I fixed anything(no loose connections or anything like that) so it may be something that will resurface at a later time. I’ll give it a couple days before I return the vehicle to normal usage.

It’s back again. Gonna try to get a multimeter on that starter and see what kinda readings I get.

And to accurately respond to the earlier question, it’s cold as **** out here right now at 10 at night and the car has been sitting in the driveway all day since morning. So it’s not a hot engine at all.

Yeah that definitely sounds like a starting circuit issue not a starter issue. Be sure to use a metal brush to clean up both ends of the positive battery cable (and the connection points on the fusible link) to rule it out as well.

no corrosion on battery or fusible link though.

Anyone have any idea what this Little block with a green blinking light is? Is it stock or aftermarket? It seems like I can get my car to start if I push the button on it.

Definitely aftermarket, follow the wire back and see if it goes to some kind of car alarm someone added. Might be what's keeping the car from starting.
