Window Indexing

When I got my 2015 Stingray out this year, I had a couple of electrical issues. All winter it was on a battery tender, so no problem with the battery.

When I stop my engine and open the door, the driver's window will drop down (index), but then come back up while the door is still open. Because of this, I need to lower the window manually to keep the glass from hitting the trim. Also, the radio does not turn off when I open the door (still turns off after 10 minutes or so, so no real problem).

Today, I disconnected the battery for 20 minutes, the reconnected. I went in and reset all of my electrical options, but the window still goes back up while the door is open.

Anyone else with this problem, or any suggested fixes (other than disconnect the battery)?

Thanks

Try re-indexing the windows.

Window Indexing and
Express-Up Reset
Window indexing may be required if
the vehicle battery has been
recharged or disconnected, or is not
working. Express-up and the
convertible top will not function until
the windows are reset. After battery
power is restored, a message
displays in the Driver Information
Center. See Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Once power is restored:
1. Close the doors.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Hold the window switch up to the
fully closed position.

Don't think that would have anything to do with window indexing but maybe the problems are somehow related.

I turn my radio off before I leave the car. BUT if I didn't turn it off, I would have a "real problem" with it staying on for 10 minutes.

Odd set of issues.

Sounds like there is a problem with the door switch/sensor. The car does not recognize the door is opened to turn off the radio or for indexing the window.

Welcome to our forum Tom. Close both doors on your C7. Start the engine. Put first the driver window all the way down, then back up and continue to hold the window button as if you were closing the window, and hold the button for about 5 seconds.. Do the same for the passenger window. That should reindex them.
