How to Deal with Malfunctioning Power Windows?
1 Answers
Solutions for malfunctioning power windows: First, turn on the ignition switch, hold the window switch in the upward position, and keep it held after the window reaches the top for more than 3 seconds. Then release the switch and immediately press and hold it down to lower the window to the bottom for more than 3 seconds. Repeat the upward motion once more to complete the initialization procedure, and the power window function will be restored. Here are the common causes of malfunctioning power windows: 1. Damaged window lift motor or poor contact in the electrical wiring harness. If you smell a burning odor or hear unusual noises from the door panel when holding the window switch, it is likely that the window lift motor components are damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor. 2. Motor overheating protection. To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors are equipped with an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, resulting in malfunctioning power windows. 3. Excessive resistance in the window guide channel. The door window guide channel is a detail that is often overlooked. Dust can accumulate in the guide channel during use, increasing resistance, which may over time make it difficult for the window to rise smoothly.
