Default Auto up/down window issue

Well after 4 days in Vegas I got back to Atlanta and a nearly dead battery. I had enough juice to unlock doors and power all accessories, but the starter would just click. So I called roadside assistance and got a jumpstart. Everything seems fine except for the windows - the auto-up and auto-down functions aren't working, so I have to hold down the button.

Does anyone know if there is a fuse or something I could check for this? Or is it a programming issue? I noticed my trip mileage counter had zero'ed out and my clock was reset. I didn't find anything in a forum search.

I've had the low power/dead battery window issue. It just needs to hit the limits again and it will reset.
Runn them all the way down then all the way up and them back down....

After that the auto up and down should work. if not the dealer may have to do something with the flash to set it to auto up and down. (But I have always had it work after running it up and down a few times by hand)

I did it at least twice - once when I saw realized what happened, and again at the parking lot pay booth. Nothing like trying to explain to AAA where you are in an airport parking lot.

That happens to me when I disconnect the battery, the windows seem to work properly once I set the clock.

The same thing happened to me spontaneously.. I was wondering if it was a programming thing that the dealer could take care of..

I've had it a few times as well. I shut the car and removed the key, restarted and the problem would be gone.

Goes away after a few times running the window up and down - at least it did for me when I replaced the regulator.
