When I purchased my 2015 Silverado it had express up/down on all windows. A new battery later and it only works on driver's side. Any suggestions on a fix? 

It should have always been express down on all four windows and only express up on driver's window?

Like MikeBMW said, my 2017 has express down on all 4 windows but only express up on Drivers window.

 

Mike, how long have you had you E34? I have a 92 E34 535i 5 speed as well, my 3rd one.

Hi, @rav3, I've had the 535i for about 3-1/2 years - bought it for $2500 from the original owner, mint condition.
It's my second e34 as I had a 525i, same year, 1990, but was hit head-on by a teen driver in a mustang.
In the interim, I had an e32 750iL but the maintenance (I do it myself) became exponentially more every year so I had to let it go - leading to the latest e34 I currently have.
Dang, I wish I had the 5 speed as you do, it was great on my 525!

Thanks a great looking 535i. Looks like E39 wheels; 17's? Here's my last one, bought it from the original owner back in 2011 with 32k miles and all BMW service records. Like you, I do all my own maintenance for the most part. If I get over my head, I have a local indy that does a great job.

Same here, I do have a local indy shop to do some of the work I don't feel like doing. In fact, that's where I bought the car.
The wheels are 16s, e39 as you mentioned (as opposed to the stock 15s - I still have the stock wheels with new tires in storage.)
Wow, you got some low miles on your car, awesome! It's looks great!
I'm approaching nearly 200K on mine but the previous owner only did highway miles and the suspension had been refreshed before I bought it.
Also, power steering lines replace, AC lines replaced, brakes bled, etc..
I've replace two window regulators and motors and my next job is to replace a few door lock switches that no longer work. Also, the bushings on the wiper mounts, as well as a heater valve. It's great to work on these cars, much simpler than my 750iL and I have many stories about that one (though this is not the arena for delving into that as we've already hi-jacked this thread. O_o
I drive my truck daily and use my BMW on weekends and the occasional trip to the airport because the truck won't fit in the short term parking garage.
I always keep a battery tender on it so it's ready when I want to feel like I'm driving a go-cart compared to the truck. :D

I feel for the OP and I wouldn't blame him for never coming back to this forum after his thread being hi-jacked by BMW fanboys!

I already mentioned we hijacked this thread, unintentionally.
We're just classic BMW guys with old Bimmers - cut us some slack.
Also, we contributed to the issue prior - why is this a problem?

I have a BMW too. Well...my wife does. Its white. It a pain in the ass to work on. They hide the battery and put the oil filter in a stupid place.

 

Express down on all windows. Express up on driver.

Have you tried recalibrating the end-stops using standard procure of holding the window buttons all the way down until the window drops all the way down, and then pulling the button all the way up until the window is closed?  I need to do that on my VW and BMW every time I disconnect the battery.

I know when I was selling GM trucks back in the mid 2000's they switched the function.

 

Their reasoning was a safety issue, small children could push the switch, it goes up and traps them (their neck) in the window as it closes.

 

That is why you have to "pull" the switch to get the window to raise, with the thought being a small child will not be driving, so that is the only one with express up.

On my 2015 and on my 2018, all four were express down and only the driver's window was express up.

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
