I was taking Wifey's 2006 Honda Civic through the local gas station car wash a couple of weeks ago. I lowered the driver's side window to punch in the car wash code. The light turns green and the Drive Forward sign lights up. I go to raise the window and...nothing. Window would not come up. Car wash is paid for and waiting for me to drive in. Cars in line behind me. WTF to do?
I shut the car off and restarted it and bingo, the window worked fine.
When I was in IT support I always told people there are two steps to take if something doesn't work.
Step 1: Reboot!!
Step 2: Call me
Rebooting worked again.
Aside from that weird glitch, her 18 year old Honda is also running fine. My 2016 MB GLC300 has had far more issues than her Civic.
Glad you made your trip work. Merry Christmas indeed.
