Unable to Roll Up Windows?

[robert]

Just bought a wrecked 2015 GT Premium as a project car. I just rolled the windows down for the first time, and now I can't roll them up. Does the engine need to be running for some reason? I haven't started it yet (haven't installed new radiator yet). Driver knee airbag is also blown, but that shouldn't affect anything.

Can't figure out why the windows aren't working. Any ideas?

Previously, whenever I would open and shut the doors the windows went up and down the last half inch or so as they should.

Thanks

Windows will roll up on only accessory power.

Perfect, thank you! Didn't want to push the ignition button yet since no radiator installed, but it doesn't start without the clutch in anyway

WIthout pushing the break (in Auto) or clutch (in Manual) it will just turn on ACC without starting engine. Also running engine for few seconds without coolant will not have any negative impact (considering it is cool).

For the windows to go up/down fully they have to have at least accessory power. But the 1/2" up/down when opening the door should work regardless. If they're not then check for a blown fuse and be sure the battery is good.

Thanks all - windows work perfectly fine, just didn't realize it needed accessory power and was a bit hesitant to hit the ignition in case it started the engine w/ no radiator installed
