A couple of weeks ago my driver's window would not go down. A few days later when you turn on the car the driver's window rolls down and will not immediately roll back up. After a few minutes the window will roll back up but not back down. It seems that this now has caused my battery to die.

If something is killing the battery, you need to check if there is a draw on the battery. There are directions on our homepage under the diy section. As far as the delay when opening and closing the window, you need to check if power is coming from the switch at the proper time. It could be a bad switch or motor.
