I’ve been fighting this issue for around 12 hours after some problems with my battery terminals this morning. Came across your video while eating dinner and it solved my problem 100%. You absolutely made my night! Thank you for making this video!!! (Fyi it works on an 06 Hummer h3)
Problem solved. 2006 Chevy Colorado. Driver window was the only one not working and no locks SOLVED Thanks to you. Thank you my friend you are a life saver for posting this. I was just about to lose it.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I've bought three new switches over the years not knowing there was an easy fix. It took me less than 10 minutes and it's working fine now.
Excellent advice. As an electrical engineer, GM's fix for this only had to be a couple of small resistors. Maybe 1000 ohms. That would help drain the caps somewhat quickly when power is removed.
Took my '06 Canyon Crew cab to the shop for a bunch of work, which was all done great...but when I went to pick it up the power door locks and driver's window switches wouldn't work. The mech tried several things to no avail. Then I came home and found your page, so I went out and did what you recommend. And now EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. I guess that he had to disconnect the battery for one of the other repairs and didn't realize the problems THAT caused. Thank you very much for your tip. It worked great!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found this video! I've been driving around for the last 5 months with the driver's window half open! It worked perfect! Door locks too!
This Worked! I tried resetting the door lock mode, turning on the emergency flashers and disconnecting the battery cables. None of these worked. Then I found this video, followed the simple instructions and IT WORKED! Thank you for posting.
Thank you very much for this video.My window and locks came on immediately.Your fix didnt work alone by itself but the comments from other people did.l did what you said twice, but it was disconnecting my battery touching the leads together for 30 seconds and leaving them off the battery for 7 hrs. as well as shunting out the capaciters..l have a 2006 H3 and changed the battery and for 7 months didnt have driver window or doorlocks.You saved me a couple dollars of parts and labour.Previously l had dead battery boosted it and it took two weeks for the window and door locks to come back by themshelves at the same time.Hope this long story helps someone else.
Thank you for the extremely informative video. I had this problem due to the winter storm over Christmas weekend. My battery died, so I disconnected it & took it to my basement to charge. Sure, enough after I put the battery back in my '04 Canyon, I had the "no" locks, & "no" driver's window symptom. Watched & followed your video, it did the trick! Thanks for explaining this simple, but annoying fix. Thanks again!
I just followed this same advice. The first time it did not work. I used one of the screws as he described. I took it apart a second time and used a small piece of copper wire and connected it across the two prongs at the base of the capacitors instead of turning the board over and touching the two solder joints together. I think I even heard a quick snap from one of them but it was hard to tell. Anyway, upon reinstalling the assembly using this method everything worked. Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for the video. This situation (couldn't lock the truck with the fob and the driver's side power window didn't work) occurred with my 2004 Chevy Colorado without replacing or disconnecting/reconnecting the battery. Your solution (draining the two capacitors in the driver side's power windows/power lock/side view mirrors' control circuit board) worked.
Battery went dead in the Polar Vortex deep freeze. Had the door lock and window issue pop up. After replacing the battery (it was 6 yrs old) and following this individuals instructions it immediately resolved the issue. Driver side window works again and I can remotely unlock and lock the truck again. Truck is a 2005 model, 4x4, z71 LS. Had bought it used a couple years ago. Mileage for this fix may vary but it corrected my issue. Thanks for the help wrstanton3.
Had same problem when it got down to - 25F+ here is Wisconsin this winter. I ended up replacing my master control switch with a aftermarket replacement. Wish I would have just done this. I had the same problem occur recently and it fixed the problem.
I had some jumper cables hooked to my Colorado, one slipped off and touched something and the stuff quit working. Thanks a ton for this it worked amazing! Liked
Duuuude! What a life saver! It's like -9 here and of course it won't lock. Followed your video and BOOOM she's working again. (had to do it twice, missed the contacts on the bottom). Thank you thank you thank you. You save me $$$ on my 2005 GMC Canyon. BTW-the problem started without replacing the battery. I did replace it thinking it that would solve it.
Thanks! It worked. I used a screw and a flat head screw driver to connect the leads. Not sure which one did it but the problem was fixed. So seriously thank you so much.
I just had this problem today. I disconnected the positive and negative battery cables and touched them together for 10 - 15 seconds to ground out any lingering voltage. I'm not sure of the technical electrical jargon, but it worked! I started the truck, and the all the windows and door locks worked.
Worked for me, just now. Thanks. Caveat - I had to take it apart several times, turns out there are several loose plastic parts that fall out and have a required function for how the buttons physically activate, etc. I just kept moving the parts around trying not to break anything. Finally it worked. Bottom line is I don't have to drive my Colorado around in subzero Iowa weather with my windows down. Way to go!
This has been a headache for years on our Hummer H3. GM should have recalled this considering it plagued vehicles across their line for multiple generations. Very poor quality control.
Hey.. thank a lot friend!! Got the same problem in my colorado... my battery was dead and wired up to start the truck and i found your video to fix the problem... thank again!!!
This worked for me however the first time I used the screw & it didn't, then I used a clean flat head screwdriver and held it on there for about 10 seconds per side & it worked perfect. Thanks for the awesome tip!
Very helpful video! My situation is a little bit different. The passenger side window didn't work. Did everything on the video, still not working. Then, while the control is unplugged, I lifted the window up a little with bare hands, and plug back in the controls, it worked.
Worked, but only after a few attempts of doing this and touching my black to my red terminal. Took a few days but now it’s like it was before. Thanks a lot
Bro!!! U are awesome i tried it on my colorado because 2 buttons werent working: the driver side window and the driver side lock. I tries your technique and viola, its working again! ... added comments: I just purchased a new battery and i noticed after is when i lost control to both of the buttons mentioned Thank you for ur help!
Thanks for sharing the video. I had this problem a few years ago on my 2005 Canyon and after trying a bunch of things it finally fixed itself. Truck sat for long time this winter and battery when weak and got the problem again. Will try your fix if I get tired of waiting for in to self correct. It is getting closer, the lights and beeper work when trying to lock and unlock doors.
Thanks for the video, i tried disconnecting the battery overnight and that doesnt works for me.I give try this video and my window and door lock still doesnt work. I replaced the 2 electrolytic capacitors he mention ,and that works for me. My window and doorlock are working now.thanks buds.
I enjoyed your video, it is true, although I was not able to do it after 24-36 hours. I went out to do your recommendations and tried it one more time and everything worked. I guess the caps discharged due to moisture or normal leakage of the caps. Thank for the video, very good.
For me, the only thing that worked was disconnecting the battery cables and touching the positive and negative contacts together for a few seconds then I waited overnight before reconnecting them to the battery. Now the drivers' window and the power door locks work again. Thanks to all that posted the suggestions! You saved me a bunch of money by not taking it to a mechanic! I'm guessing it was like rebooting the computer and resetting everything.
I tried everything to fix this. This works!!!! Many say problem may go away by itself. This fix only takes a few minutes. I wonder how many parts a dealer would swap out to fix. Thanks
A lot of times when I had my 2004 Colorado it would eventually go away by itself but it could take a week or longer. The dealer didn't seem to know the cause and assumed that I needed a new BCM but even after replacing the BCM it would still happen again including one time while driving home from the dealer.
LOL this is awesome to find out Thank you so much. I have been having this problem /w my window control, just on the drivers side. I thought it was getting wet and shorting it out. I will try this trick as my battery went dead last night and the window stopped working again. Very interesting
After trying every bit of witchcraft and sorcery for nearly a month I remembered an old trick for fixing dead coils. Bake it at a low temp. Popped the window and lock circuit board in my toaster oven for 10 mins, popped it back in and it works like new. I suspect this is a temporary fix but it might be useful for someone who needs to get their window up.
Thanks brother..great vid..Sometimes you have to hold the screw,to drain the residual juice from the plate...But itsa great explanation...of a pain thee ass issue
Thank you so much this was very helpful. Now I can go through the drive thru again! Only thing that would be a little more helpful is showing the exact location of the sauter joints but helpful none the less
Bro ..thanks so much for sharing .l've been checking fuses and prints ..going nuts. l have an H3 so this should work.l got a boost from someone and then bam!!! Lucky i didn't have my window down as its winter here. This should be in the owners manual I subscribed to you .Have great day
as this process did not fix my truck I found another that did. Took the entire control panel out of the door (2 screws) unplugged, took inside and hit it with a heat gun VERY BRIEFLY took it back to the truck plugged it in and worked like a champ. if you try this make sure not to heat more that very briefly
Yo man iv been dealing with this problem since I changed batteries 3 days ago and all my old tricks didn’t work this time when I first saw the video I was a little skeptical but nothing else was working so i said fuck it cant mess it up more tried and boom everything works you the man!!! I can’t thank you enough brotha keep up the Videos!! 👍👍👍👍
This is a true and accurate fix however if you are just replacing the battery and you Find that your driver side window and door locks don't work and then you try this fix you are going to have too short the capacitors for at least 2 minutes apiece If you wait about 4 hours then you can do it with a screw just like this instructional video says. Anyway this fix is freakin amazing and it saved me hundreds of dollars from taking it back to the dealer
Thank you so much for this comment!! I tried again and used a copper wire hook this time around the bottom of the capacitors and waited 2 minutes on each. I could hear clicking if I listened closely. The fix finally worked!! I can use drive thrus again. :-)
2006 Colorado, weak battery, bitter cold, days without starting => inoperable driver window and door locks (fob and switch). Removed + battery cable and C-clamped it to - cable/terminal. No luck for 2 minute, 20 minute or 2 hour trials but did work after leaving it overnight.
I changed the battery in my truck and locks & windows didn't work- did what you showed here, but also took and warmed up those two little square blocks ,not to much heat as they will melt! just enough to warm it, put it back together and works!
i really thank you for you help... did what you shown me.. but it didn't do the trick maybe it's a blown fuse or my switch is bad i had this problem many times if i open the door or if i stop and the truck is running it's ok but if i stop and leave my drivers side down it stops working until I Drive some a few miles ... Park the truck turn truck off and restart the truck the window works .. but now the window and the locks do not work . Only have the rear drivers side working great up and down ... if someone has a fix for this please help thanks
This procedure works, sometimes you need to do over more than once. After asking why hasnt this been a problem when the vehicle was new and from reseaching, it seems to have something to do with the two relays on the circuit board with the two capacitors.... they are the two black boxes and I think one is connected to the problem, but not sure which. After years of use and clicking on and off it appears for some reason when the battery goes dead the contacts in side freeze in place due to magnetism or the charge held in those capacitors... someone has said warming those two relays with a small space heater for 15-20 minutes also fixes the problem. I have done that and it worked but I also shunted the capacitors, so Im not sure that works alone... but I have had to the capacitor thing more than once at times..... the relays wearing out and causing this makes sense and after hearing new cheaper switches cause other problems I am considering trying to replace the two relays, I have found them online. If anyone has done this let us know how it went.....
Works. But I wonder if replacing the caps with better ones would keep it from happening. Seems like everytime I disconnect my battery it does this. (2006 crew cab) I'll be doing some research/tinkering will post if I find a permanent fix.
I have this exact issue. Going to give it a try. Update: Unfortunately this did not work for me on my 2006 Chevy Colorado. My driver window and all door locks still don't work. I attempted this 3 times using a flat blade screwdriver and screw head just as in video. I rocked the screw and/or screwdriver back and forth on the terminals on both capacitors several times. Grrr. I checked the passenger side as well and no capacitors on that side. I will try one more time with a jump wire but I am confident I did it right the first time. FYI, I do hear a click sound under dash when using remote.
Another easier way to do this is after disconnecting the battery from both posts touch the negative and the positive wires together for 5 seconds and it’s done. Easy
This was exactly it!! Thank you so much man you posted this 5 years ago and it’s still helping people out!!

Thanks for taking the time to put this video up it worked for me and was a big help I wasn't sure what to think when this happened to my truck
been struggling with this issue for 3 years, thank you

It worked! Thank you sir! Hopefully you identify as a man and I’m not insulting you! Really made my day getting this fixed so easily! Thanks again

I HAVE A 2004 GMC CANYON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. PERFECT VIDEO. IT WORKED FOR ME.💯
You just made my weekend!!!Totally worked! Thank you so much.
All this from changing a battery...Chevy needs to correct this issue.
This has been a headache for years on our Hummer H3. GM should have recalled this considering it plagued vehicles across their line for multiple generations. Very poor quality control.
another problem fixed. your video was spot on for my driver door. now I just need to fix the passenger. Thanks.
Hey.. thank a lot friend!! Got the same problem in my colorado... my battery was dead and wired up to start the truck and i found your video to fix the problem... thank again!!!
This worked for me however the first time I used the screw & it didn't, then I used a clean flat head screwdriver and held it on there for about 10 seconds per side & it worked perfect. Thanks for the awesome tip!
Fixed my problem. Hadn’t even changed the battery. Just up and stopped working right lol. Thanks a million!
You're a lifesaver. That worked perfectly.
Very helpful video!
My situation is a little bit different.
The passenger side window didn't work. Did everything on the video, still not working. Then, while the control is unplugged, I lifted the window up a little with bare hands, and plug back in the controls, it worked.

You saved me $.
Cheers man.

Perfect fix discharging the caps makes sense! thanks for the information. 10 minute repair!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN..!!! I've been trying to find this problem for so long.... :)
Just did this on my 2004 Colorado, works great, thank you!
Thanks your video helped me out had this very issue and it worked! My kids don't need a blanket in the back seat.
Bro! What the? This is genius, had the exact save thing happen to my 08, kind of a weird problem. Fixed it right up.
Thanks for the video, i tried disconnecting the battery overnight and that doesnt works for me.I give try this video and my window and door lock still doesnt work. I replaced the 2 electrolytic capacitors he mention ,and that works for me. My window and doorlock are working now.thanks buds.

Thanks, great video. works. didn't work the first time with a screw but tried it again with a large screwdriver and it worked.
Hey you save my back body . Was gonna take my car to the mechanic. It works , I save a lot money thanks
First I tired 30 min, then the over night method and then I used this method and taking battery off over night (try all at once) and Thanks it worked
Thanks for the video. Fixed my problem.
Thanks for the video! Somewhere between doing this and disconnecting both battery cables it started working.
Going to try that cuz that way didn't work thanks
Man i love TH-cam, not only did this answer my vaguely worded internet search but it did it in the same truck as mine, colour and all.
LOL this is awesome to find out Thank you so much. I have been having this problem /w my window control, just on the drivers side. I thought it was getting wet and shorting it out. I will try this trick as my battery went dead last night and the window stopped working again. Very interesting
Thank you, battery died, I jumped it then the window and locks stopped working, this fixed my issue.
Thank You ! Worked for Hummer H3 after nothing else worked!!
It actually does work!! Very valuable viedo!!! .It made my day!! Thankyou!!!
Thanks for posting this, worked for me
After trying every bit of witchcraft and sorcery for nearly a month I remembered an old trick for fixing dead coils. Bake it at a low temp. Popped the window and lock circuit board in my toaster oven for 10 mins, popped it back in and it works like new. I suspect this is a temporary fix but it might be useful for someone who needs to get their window up.
Thank you so much. This worked on my Hummer H3!
You fixed my friends truck thank you sir
Worked like a charm, thanks!
Worked like a champ! Thanks
Thanks brother..great vid..Sometimes you have to hold the screw,to drain the residual juice from the plate...But itsa great explanation...of a pain thee ass issue
This is the best way . Thank for sharing.
Thank you so much this was very helpful. Now I can go through the drive thru again! Only thing that would be a little more helpful is showing the exact location of the sauter joints but helpful none the less
Worked like a charm thank you
Bro ..thanks so much for sharing .l've been checking fuses and prints ..going nuts. l have an H3 so this should work.l got a boost from someone and then bam!!! Lucky i didn't have my window down as its winter here.
This should be in the owners manual I subscribed to you .Have great day
as this process did not fix my truck I found another that did.

Thank you so much for this comment!! I tried again and used a copper wire hook this time around the bottom of the capacitors and waited 2 minutes on each. I could hear clicking if I listened closely. The fix finally worked!! I can use drive thrus again. :-)
Works like a charm! Thanks man
2006 Colorado, weak battery, bitter cold, days without starting => inoperable driver window and door locks (fob and switch). Removed + battery cable and C-clamped it to - cable/terminal. No luck for 2 minute, 20 minute or 2 hour trials but did work after leaving it overnight.
Thank you. It worked well.
I changed the battery in my truck and locks & windows didn't work- did what you showed here, but also took and warmed up those two little square blocks ,not to much heat as they will melt! just enough to warm it, put it back together and works!
That’s freakin awesome! Thanks for this!
i really thank you for you help... did what you shown me.. but it didn't do the trick maybe it's a blown fuse or my switch is bad i had this problem many times if i open the door or if i stop and the truck is running it's ok but if i stop and leave my drivers side down it stops working until I Drive some a few miles ...

worked!!!! thank you for sharing!
It WORKS!!!! Thank you
Awesome, fixed, just like in the video!!
This procedure works, sometimes you need to do over more than once. After asking why hasnt this been a problem when the vehicle was new and from reseaching, it seems to have something to do with the two relays on the circuit board with the two capacitors.... they are the two black boxes and I think one is connected to the problem, but not sure which. After years of use and clicking on and off it appears for some reason when the battery goes dead the contacts in side freeze in place due to magnetism or the charge held in those capacitors... someone has said warming those two relays with a small space heater for 15-20 minutes also fixes the problem. I have done that and it worked but I also shunted the capacitors, so Im not sure that works alone... but I have had to the capacitor thing more than once at times..... the relays wearing out and causing this makes sense and after hearing new cheaper switches cause other problems I am considering trying to replace the two relays, I have found them online. If anyone has done this let us know how it went.....
Works. But I wonder if replacing the caps with better ones would keep it from happening. Seems like everytime I disconnect my battery it does this. (2006 crew cab) I'll be doing some research/tinkering will post if I find a permanent fix.
I have this exact issue. Going to give it a try. Update: Unfortunately this did not work for me on my 2006 Chevy Colorado. My driver window and all door locks still don't work. I attempted this 3 times using a flat blade screwdriver and screw head just as in video. I rocked the screw and/or screwdriver back and forth on the terminals on both capacitors several times. Grrr. I checked the passenger side as well and no capacitors on that side. I will try one more time with a jump wire but I am confident I did it right the first time. FYI, I do hear a click sound under dash when using remote.
I have an 06 Colorado too. It didn't work for me until I used a copper wire and held on the bottom of each capacitor for more than two minutes each.
you are the man, appreciate it alot!
Great... Thanks for saving me a repair bill $$$ Good job
Thank you and God Bless You.
Worked!! Thanks!👍
Worked!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. it actually worked 👍👍👍
thx a million bra, saved me. props.
Have the same problem will try in fix it with your answer, Thanks
YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!
Another easier way to do this is after disconnecting the battery from both posts touch the negative and the positive wires together for 5 seconds and it’s done. Easy
Thank you so much man!
Thank you for video I have a 2006 hummer h3 it worked
Saved my bacon, man. Many thanks.
You are awesome it worked 🙏 👍
