The problem is there is no auto-up window on the Rogue

Pescakl1, that is incorrect.

The Leather Package comes with and Auto-up/down drivers side window. Lesser models come with auto down only.

If you are having trouble with the Auto-up feature (Leather equipped models only), try the following to re-initialize the power window:

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE (From Nissan)1. Turn the Ignition switch ON.2. Open the window-all the way DOWN.3. Pull all the way UP on the switch and hold (close the window). Continue holding the switch all the way UP for 4 seconds after the window is closed.4. Confirm the window is now operating correctly.

AFAIK there are no tech bulletins regarding faulty power window operation. The procedure shown above covers all Nissan models with auto-up windows and is general information in case there is an issue. If the auto-up window stops operating again, I would take it back to the dealer.

I have had 1 issue with this on my Nissan Quest, they had to replace the motor, they did it under warranty.

My '03 Altima had the Auto-up driver's side window. Never had a problem with it.

Oops, sorry titefitnmada

Is it true for the canadian model too, or just the us one?

Both US and Canada SL models with the Leather Package have the auto-up drivers side window.

It's not that simple. You would need both the motor, the power switch assembly and additional wiring. Reason: There is an anti-pinch system with sensors that will roll the window back down if something gets caught... much like the auto-reverse on a garage door opener.

At best, you would only be able to do the driver and maybe the passenger side window. The rear windows would be very difficult. AFAIK there is no Nissan out there with auto-up/down rear windows that you could swap parts with.

Isn't it just the the driver side controls module that controls the windows? i.e. should replacing that module (from the SL Leather package) do the trick?

No, it's more than just the switch. Read my earlier post. The power window motor, the door wiring harness and the switch are different in the auto-up power window models. It's not cheap, about $400 for the parts plus installation.

This turned out to be very helpful after replacing the battery in our Rogue. Auto up was no longer working.

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the site but I do have something to say, in the 2009 Rogue, the owners manual is not clear about the auto up and down feature. It states that if it is marked with an "A" it is auto up and down. It appears that this is not the case as there is only an auto down on most vehicles. This should be clear because it is misleading.

How is it misleading? Do you have the "A"? If so, are you saying your auto up isn't working? Have you had it checked at your local dealership?

Actually, the manual shows there are two types under Instruments and controls 2-41, but it doesn't specify the difference and requires you to read the detail.
  • Automatic operation (if so equipped)
    The automatic operation is available for the switch that has an mark on its surface.

    Type A: To fully open or close the window, push down or pull up the switch to the second detent and release it; the switch need not be held. The window will automatically open or close all the way. To stop the window, just push or lift the switch in the opposite direction.

    Type B: To fully open the window, push down the switch to the second detent and release it; the switch need not be held. The window will automatically open all the way. To stop the window, just lift the switch. To fully close the window, push and hold the switch
Easiest way to tell if auto is available in any direction is to:
- see if it has an auto symbol, and
- see which directions have the second detent.

An auto down only will have an auto symbol and a second detent on the down direction only.
An auto up/down will have both the auto symbol and a second detent on the up and down direction.
The direction without detent behaves exactly like a manual window and only operates while you're pushing the switch.

The switch does have the "A" but is only auto down. Dealer agrees that what is written in the manual is not clear.

Yep, it's pretty straight forward. The manual clearly states (irregardless if it's TYPE A or TYPE B - that only indicates how the switch is notched) that if it has the "A" symbol it is auto up/down. The dealer is blowing smoke up your skirt. Try a different Nissan dealership, or independent shop.

I had quoted the manual for a 2009 Rogue (USA) few posts prior.

Where in the manual does it say that an "A" symbol automatically means both auto up/down?

I only see that the "A" symbol means automatic operation and divides it to Type A or Type B. Further reading indicates Type A = auto up/down while Type B = auto down only.

Edit to clarify auto up/down availability based on some quick research:
For USA market, driver-side auto up/down did not become standard until 2011 (when SV grade was added).
2008 - 2010 had driver-side auto down as standard, with auto up added if you got the SL leather package.

Hence why some people with the "A" symbol only have auto down, while others have auto up/down. As I said before, you can easily check if a second detent exists in the up direction to see if you have auto up or not.

It really depends on if the vehicle came with the option for up and down, you can see if your option does by looking at the switch here http://www.switchdoctor.net/

I checked out your site and the irony is that you don't have the Rogue model listed :chuckle:

Always getting new switches in, did you happen to call the number to see if it's available? Just because its not on the site doesn't mean it can't be gotten.

I can confirm that this reset works on the 2012 Rogue S. I had to do it this weekend after replacing my driver's side window.
