how to reset after battery change
installed new battery.
1. When reconnected screen showed a red and green bar. T chose green and (aged). Its been flashing and showing data for well over 1/2 hour. Did I miss or do somethinbg wrong? The sound is like when its loading a CD.
2. The back windows don't go up when I raise the top.
I read to do a hard or soft reset (various versions) like leaving a door open and disconnecting the - for 120 seconds or disconnecting both + and - cables and touching them together. I hate taking this apart again to do that if I don't have to. Also read its in the manaul and it isn't.
HELP

Are you absolutely certain beyond any possibility whatsoever and willing to stake your life on the fact that your 'new' battery is FULLY and COMPLETELY charged?
It MUST have 12.6 volts or more or it will cause electrical problems on any of a dozen or more systems.
Batteries sit for a LONG time between initial manufacture and the retail sale. Very rarely are they fully charged when purchased.

1. Disconnect the battery from the cabling.
2. Touch the cables together to discharge any capacitance.
3. Confirm health of battery by performing a voltage reading at 12.6v
4. Reconnect cables.
5. Do not depress brake pedal, and depress and release start button.
6. Wait for all dings and chimes to finish.
7. Depress start button then press brake pedal.
Vroom... Then perform your window, etc resets.
Go for that drive.

I had found that page in the manual but thought it was to reset the anti trap and was referring to only the forward windows. The battery was at 95% when placed on the trickle charge. I do not have a multimeter. It's an Interstate Battery which is all I buy. My last one lasted 9 years
