Car battery died, jumped it off. And back passenger window goes opposite when pushing and go up. Goes up when I pull long bar for all 4 windows to go down . But all other windows go down. Also dash shows a display of car with both back doors open but my car is a 2 door. Out side mirrors and dash stay on thinking doors are still open. Also sunroof opens but when pulling top opener it does nothing and my truck won't open. I can hear it try but don't. I believe it's due to thinking it's a 4 door not 2 door hardtop convertible. I know that some computer needs to reset/ reflash / but recode. And have a good mechanic that has a ICON computer. But it performed with hexagon coding and bits . We were told and tried to change the third or fourth bit to the proper code I think it was an 11 when it was a 13 or something like that but I'm wondering can do you know the right steps to take through the icon and right codes for the bits and numbers to put in to the right s parts or where to check to see if something is thrown off or to do anything to help that. Or not using that going a different route how to fix this. The car is still drivable with all that aside but I need two new front tires went to discount to get my tires and my tire lug to unlock my tires is in my trunk my trunk won't open. Please help Thanks for your time it's much needed.

Hello, April

I can help you here, first can I ask if when installing the new battery the cables were connected backwards for a second? If so this will be the problem, I would try a hard system reboot first, this video will show you how

If this does not fix it we need to do a CAN scan to see if the system has any codes.

To me is sounds like the comfort system control module is burnt out, this module ties all of the systems you have mentioned together, but it would be nice to get a code or two to help us pinpoint the problem. Please let us know what happens. Ken

Not that I'm aware of, nothe cables were not connected wrong. Unless I wasn't told and my boyfriend accidentally did. But I don't think so. It all started when it started getting jumped and the battery died and I couldn't afford the battery yet started off the back passenger window just going opposite in the others and then the back window thought it was a door and then both back doors were open again it's just a two door car. My friend has a icon scanner and scanned it for me and here's what he found I will create another email with a few pictures from the icon tablet while hooked to my ca. Shows modulars that we were told could have the wrong numbers in certain bits but was really uncertain on what numbers should go in the correct bits. P then in the next email I'll send pictures of the car the back windows the doors so you can see the buttons or the window controls and The engine battery in the fuse box and then the next email I'll send some stuff I looked up and found on it that I'm sure you'll already know but I didn't know if it would help to figure it out

Here are the images from the icon when it was hooked up to my car and let me know if we were kind of in the right direction.

It's not allowing me to upload the other 4 pics. It bounces the green upload bar from 19% to 100% to 53% to 100% and won't complete the upload. I will try to upload the pics tomarrow to send. But at least you kinda have a good idea about what I'm meaning .

Yep, there is a problem with the computer but I think you will be able to do a hard reset to make system reboot which can straighten everything out, please go over this video to show you how.

Let me know what happens after.
