How to Restore the Automatic Window Function on an Audi A4

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Power window motor

If your Audi A4 has been stationary for a long time, perhaps with the battery disconnected (like during a lockdown), when you reconnect the battery, everything works at 100%, except the automatic window function, which needs a reset. Our friendly YouTuber shows us the right way to do it. First, completely close the front windows. Then, press and hold the automatic close button for at least ten seconds. This will unlock the function and restore normal operation. This is something to know in case the battery gets disconnected, as the problem will reoccur.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
