    Just got my 2012 Prius from the body shop. Got hit in the rear where the starting battery is.
    Had window control problems since battery was replaced. I initialized as per instructions on this forum. Thanks very much.
    Problem is that the driver-side rear window can't be controlled by the driver. It works fine with its own control but not from up front. The light on that windows button is not lit like the others. When pressed it lights and when released it blinks a few times and goes out. I unhooked the starting batter to try and reset things with no luck. Any suggestions. Thanks

    you can try to reset the window that's not working. Use it's own working switch, roll all the way down and then roll all the way back up...and hold for 5 seconds.

    Then check the driver's side buttons, should work.

    I had this exact problem when I bought my 2015 pip. The front passenger window would not operate from the driver's side buttons, but it would work on the actual passenger door. I did a reset on the passenger window and the driver's side buttons worked afterwards.

    You can read the thread I created, the solution was at post #18

    Brand new car, power window buttons don't work | PriusChat

    EDIT: To reset window, it's actually holding the up switch for (10 seconds). I put (5 seconds on my other post, which is not correct). And you have to do it to all the windows, not just the one that's not working

    I tried it and unless I'm doing something wrong and I don't think I am it's not working.
