I just had the battery replaced in my 2016 Mazda CX-5, and now some electrical things aren’t working such as the auto-down feature on the driver’s side window. Any advice on how to restore these functions? Thanks.

The owners manual explains how to initialize the power window, it is routine after disconnecting the battery.

**Power window system initialization**  
**procedure**  
If the battery was disconnected during  
vehicle maintenance, or for other reasons  
(such as a switch continues to be operated  
after the window is fully open/closed), the  
window will not fully open and close  
automatically.  
The power window auto function will  
only resume on the power window that  
has been reset.

1 Switch the ignition ON.  
2 Make sure that the power window lock  
switch located on the driver’s door is  
not depressed.  
3 Press the switch and fully open the window.  
4 Pull up the switch to fully close the  
window and continue holding the  
switch for about 2 seconds after the  
window fully closed.
