Like the subject says, my battery died in my A4 and I got a new battery
installed over the weekend. My battery was so dead that the radio went into
"SAFE" mode, the trip computer would get reset, etc. I have no idea how it
managed to start but it never left me stranded, it would just take about
5-10 seconds to crank over when it normally only ever took about 2 seconds
to crank.
I took it to Sears and had a new "Diehard International" installed in it
yesterday. When I was driving home I realized my "one touch" feature of my
windows wasn't working. I originally thought that I would have to reset
something in the ECU w/ my VAG-COM. But then the one window (passanger side
front) started working correctly. Then the back two, then finally the front.
It seemed like you had to put each of the windows the whole way down and
then back up for the one touch feature to 'initialize'. Maybe there is some
setting that has to be set so the motor knows how far to put the window down
and up. That would be the only logical explanation I can think of.
I have no idea, has anyone else seen this behavior after they disconnect the
battery? I got the radio to work just fine, since I had the 4 digit code in
the owners manual. Glad I didn't remove that little card because I would've
lost it by now had I removed it.
