Cool Window won't close using FOB

Remove this ad
I just bought a Black 05 STS and I just love it. I have been going through the owners manual and it says when you hold the lock button for more then 2 second that the open windows will express close. The windows will express close using the switch but not the FOB.
My windows will not close.
Can anyone shine some light on my problem,

If the battery has ever been disconnected, the express close function won't work either by the fob or the door switches. Look in the manual and it will describe how to reset or re-program the express close function.

Re: Window won't close using FOB

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that was a misprint in the 2005 STS manual? The ability to close the windows with the remote started with 2006 Model.

Re: Window won't close using FOB

I had the correct thread. I got confused when I saw a response hit before mine did. New at this game.

Re: Window won't close using FOB

In my early build 2006 the dealer service department had to 'turn on' the feature. It works now.

Re: Window won't close using FOB

I have an 05 1SG and it works well on my car so the 2005 does have that option

Re: Window won't close using FOB

Do we understand the original question from Billd0957? I believe he is trying to close his windows from outside the car. With the feature he is refering to, after you have started to walk away from your car and you realize your windows are open, you should be able to press the lock button on your fob then release and hold it down for 2 seconds. The windows should then close.

Re: Window won't close using FOB

Mine does not work either. Just tried it. Everything else works. Door locks, remote start, trunk, start button... just the windows don't close. I will try FOB 2 when I get home. What could keep this from working?

Re: Window won't close using FOB

I still believe that this function does not work on an 05. I have other friends with 05's and it does not work on theirs. Like I said originally, I had heard that Cadillac made an error in the 05 manual. That is what I understand. I hope I'm wrong for you 05 'ers.

I have a 2005 STS V8 and it works perfectly. Now keep in mind this car has every feature you could get besides AWD.
