2002 cadillac deville widow switches

Sent to Car Experts September 28 2006 at 2:14 AM
   

My 2002 Cadillac Deville need a jump yesterday because the key was left in the on position, which drained the battery. After the jump, my windows don't funtion properly. The passenger sides don't work. When you put the drivers side window down, the passenger side goes down with it. The same is true for the rear windows. They won't go down separately. Do I need to replace the whole drivers side window switch cluster or just the ones that don't seem to function any more. Or is there a relay switch replace. Also, how easy is it to do it myself?

It's either a software problem or a logic problem.I will look up info on this at work today since the GM site is down right now.I will post info later around 5 pm est.For now I would disconnect the battery and hold the terminals together for 30 seconds then reconnect it.That may work if it is a logic problem from being spiked from jumping the engine.If you want remove the drivers side switch and unplug it for 30 seconds and see what happens.
