How do you reset the windows on a 2013 Dodge Charger?
To reset the power-window memory on a 2013 Dodge Charger, fully close each window by raising it, then hold the switch for a brief moment after it seals at the top. Start with the driver’s window and repeat for any other windows you want to recalibrate.
What you need to know
The 2013 Charger uses power windows with an auto-up/down feature on the front doors. The reset process re-learns the “top” position for the window’s automatic travel. Not all rear windows may support auto-up/down, and some trims differ slightly in behavior. Always start with the ignition in the ON or ACC position to ensure the windows have power during the reset.
Reset procedure
Follow these steps for each window you want to reset. Begin with the driver’s window, then repeat for any other windows as needed.
- With the ignition ON, fully lower the driver’s window using the window switch (press and hold until the glass is completely down).
- Raise the window to the top using the same switch and continue to hold for 1–2 seconds after the glass stops at the top.
- Release the switch. Repeat the procedure for the passenger front window, and for any rear windows you wish to recalibrate.
After completing the steps for each window, test the one-touch function by quickly tapping the switch to see if the window returns to the top automatically.
Troubleshooting and additional tips
If resetting doesn't work
Consider these checks and steps:
- Ensure the ignition is fully on (or in ACC) when performing the reset, so the power window system is active.
- Check that the window lock from the driver door isn’t engaged, as it can disable auto-up/down on other doors.
- Inspect the fuses related to power windows; a blown fuse can prevent operation.
- Inspect door harnesses and wiring for wear or damage, especially if the memory reset fails repeatedly.
- If the problem persists, consult a dealer or a qualified auto electrical technician; the issue may involve the Body Control Module or window regulator hardware.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, a professional assessment is advised to check for deeper electrical or mechanical faults.
Rear windows and trim variations
Some Charger trims or model years may have front windows with auto-up/down while rear windows lack the same memory or require a separate procedure. If your rear windows do not respond to the reset, they may not support the auto function or may need dealer assistance.
Summary
Resetting the charger’s window memory is a practical process that retrains the auto-up function by cycling each window up after fully closing. Perform the reset for each window you rely on, ensure the ignition is on, and verify the one-touch operation afterward. If issues persist, professional service may be required to diagnose electrical or mechanical faults.
