After some cold weather, the passenger window no longer works

It's also stuck in the "door open" position (where the window goes down just slightly). I've warmed up the car in the garage and the window doesn't do anything. It seems stuck in this position. Has anyone experienced this and knows a fix?

Hold the switch for that window all the way down (window "down" position) for 10 seconds. Then hold the switch in the "window up" position for 10 seconds. This will reset the window motor settings and it should work fine after.

Same fix works for the driver's side. Do this after every time the window freezes in the future.

It is a common issue, and my windows have done it at least once per season since I got the car.

You're welcome.
