Disconnected the negative battery terminal for a while and after I reconnected it my drivers door auto window up and down is intermittently working or not working. Haven't touched any of the wires in there. Tonight I also noticed that my auto bright / dim headlights aren't working. Normal operations work with both the window and the brights off and on. Checked the settings on the dash and my settings are still the same for the auto brights meaning enabled.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Auto window
There‘s a reset procedure in the owners manual.
This happened to me also...but quick fix!

the auto high beams also just need to be reselected in the menu.
That's the problem they already are. I then unselected and then selected again no change thus far

if its on in the info display, is the switch in auto? and i think your stalk needs to be pushed forward too? cant recall. the override comment hints at the stalk positioning

Yeah the icon is selected, push the stick fwd only to override the auto feature. I was able to reset the auto window and after reading the manual it talked about ambient light outside, it was dark out but only about 30 minutes past sunset so I'll see how it does the next time I am out later at night.
