Does a Window Lifter Affect the Car?
2 Answers
Window lifters can potentially harm the car, as program modifications may cause confusion in the vehicle's systems. Here is a detailed introduction to car automatic window lifters: 1. Non-wire-cutting Window Lifter: Non-wire-cutting automatic window lifters are widely used for their automatic window-lifting function. They achieve this by connecting a decoder in series at the original car's window lifting circuit interface, which does not affect the car's wiring and has a relatively high safety factor. 2. Wire-cutting Automatic Window Lifter: This type of window lifter requires cutting the wires, and the cut wire interfaces are very fragile. They are prone to circuit interruptions due to excessive current causing temperature rises, and in severe cases, may even lead to spontaneous combustion.
I've been driving for over a decade and believe the impact of power windows on a car mainly depends on usage habits. Under normal operation, they're part of the vehicle's design—the motor consumes a small amount of battery power, but overall the design is balanced and won't significantly harm the car's condition. The key is to avoid frequently and randomly pressing the switches, especially forcing the window up or down when it's partially open, as this increases wear on the window tracks and motor, potentially leading to sluggish operation or jamming over time. I've seen cases where owners rapidly opened and closed windows during rain, causing the motor to overheat and fail. I recommend keeping the window tracks clean and applying lubricant periodically to effectively extend their lifespan. When used properly, power windows actually enhance comfort—like making ventilation easier in summer. Overall, there's no need for excessive worry as long as you don't overdo it.
