What Are the Reasons for Electric Car Windows Not Being Able to Move Up or Down?
1 Answers
Electric car windows may fail to move up or down due to reasons such as damage to the window lift motor or poor contact in the wiring harness, motor overheating protection, blocked tracks or aging rubber seals, and loss of initialization data. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Damage to the window lift motor or poor contact in the wiring harness: If there is a burnt smell or unusual noise from the door panel when holding down the window button, it indicates damage to the window lift motor components. Solution: Visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor directly. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, window lift motors generally have an overheating protection mechanism. If components overheat for any reason, the motor will enter a protection state, causing the window to stop moving. Solution: Wait for the motor to cool down. Blocked tracks or aging rubber seals: If the window glass is stuck and cannot move, clean the tracks and apply some lubricant. If the issue is caused by aging or deformed rubber seals, replace the new sealing strip. If it's just dirty, cleaning it will suffice. Solution: Spray some dashboard wax on the glass seal or apply talcum powder. Loss of initialization data: Disconnecting the car battery or the power or ground wire of the window control module during maintenance of other systems may cause the window's initialization data to be lost, preventing the window from moving. Solution: Reset the window lift mechanism.
