Re: HELP!! Changed the battery now the top won't go up!!!
Hey their beerbongbeau,
Sometimes if the battery was completely dead before replacing it, it may trigger ghosts in the system by way of interior lights not wanting to shut off, false codes, etc. I have even seen three separate instances where the power window switch will stall out half way down and act like a bad switch with no sound, no nothing, but turned out to just be an electrical glitch. Try removing the positive cable for about 5 minutes and reconnect to reset the system first. 99% of the time that should fix the problem. If that doesn't solve the problem, then I would go ahead and replace the fuses, and if still no response, I might see if I could pull the switch itself out and check it with a test light to see if your getting juice. Then it may be Dealer time, but check everything else first.
As far as I know, the sequence shouldn't make any difference as long as you didn't reverse the cables by accident and reverse the polarity of the battery at which point all you would do is fry the battery and need to buy a new one.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. I wish you the best of luck, and please let us know what you find.
Go easy,
Candyman
