Automatic window broke - how to reset?

My battery got too low and messed all kinds of stuff up - after getting it charged - The ONLY issue now is...the strangest issue ive seen a long time... The drivers window!
If I push the down button where it will automatically go down it just goes down an inch and stops. If I push the up button to automatically go up, it will go all the way up, then go down about 1/3 of the way and stop! If I push the button "softley" where its not inducing the "auto roll" function, I can roll it all the way up to the top and it wont automatically roll back down. If I push softly to go down, it only goes down an inch or so, but never will get down more than 1/5th of the way down!
Can I be the first to say - What the hell!?

Thanks!

Found this for resetting an Avalon power windows.
Might be similar for a highlander.
Would try just doing the hold for a couple of seconds after completing step 2.
You will wait a long time for blinking lights as the HL doesn't have illuminated window switches

Quote:
NOTE:
Anytime the battery terminal has been disconnected, please initialize the driver’s door power window and front passenger’s door power window after reconnecting the battery terminal.

With ignition switch in the “ON” position, do the following:

1. Push down and hold the driver’s door power window switch to completely open the window.
2. Pull and hold up the driver’s door power window switch until the window closes.

Continue holding the switch for approximately one second until the switch changes from blinking to a constant illumination.
3. Check for proper operation of the “one–touch open and close” function by fully pushing the switch briefly to the “DOWN” and “UP” positions.

At this time the power window switch for the passenger’s door window should be blinking.
4. Push down and hold the passenger’s door power window switch to completely open the window.
5. Pull and hold up the passenger’s door power window switch until the window closes.
Continue holding the switch for approximately one second until the switch changes
from blinking to a constant illumination.
6. Check for proper operation of the “one–touch open and close” function by fully pushing the switch briefly to the “DOWN” and “UP” positions.

That didnt work. As soon as I push down it goes down for about a CM then stops, and wont go down anymore unless I go up all the way. The only way to get the window down more than 1cm is to go down 1cm till it stops, then hit the auto-up button where it goes to the top, then will go down about 5". That is the only way to get the window down at all, which unfortunately isnt enough to get my arm through to get parking passes in a garage or use the ATM etc...

I wonder if you did something when you had your other problem

Car won't start! -Check Brake System, Check SRS Airbag system

Looks like a trip to the dealer is in order.

Well I got it fixed - I wish I could give detailed directions on HOW I did it, but I would say just play with it until you get it working! I do think it involved holding it in the up position or down position for a while - but again...I just kept trying until it started to work?!
Sorry to future readers, but at least its fixable!
