Driver window won't work after jump Start

My truck battery was in low voltage. I accidently put the jump start cables in reverse order (plus on negative terminal) and I saw some smoke coming from the terminals. I quickly de-attached them.

 

After several minutes, I put the the cables back in the correct order and I was able to start my truck. 

 

However,  the dashboard screen said: "Action Required - Open Then Close Driver Window" right after my truck started. The driver window won't roll down at all. 

 

I have checked most of other electricity, the rest of windows, horn, stereo, lights, DC plug, and they were all working fine.

 

I don't know what I did. Did I fry something up? The driver window won't work? could it be the motor, or the wiring? Does anyone have any idea how to diagnose it?

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

Think you should just replace your battery.

 

Once they get to the point of having to jump it, you will experience all kinds of electrical problems.

Actually I would disconnect the ground cable at the battery for some minutes, hook it back up and check the window function. Other than that, it's time to check all of your fuses. Hooking those cables up backwards could have blown any number of fuses.

Thank you for the tips. I was able to fix the problem.

 

The problem is gone, no fuse is blown. The window now starts working  It turned to be the alternator problem after I have done several tests on it

 

I had to replace the alternator and the battery too. The battery was damaged because of backward jumping and overcharging.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
