What are the reasons for the automatic car window not closing?
3 Answers
Automatic car window not closing is affected by factors such as the window regulator and switch. Window regulator and switch factors: The oil inside the door's window regulator is exhausted, the inner cover should be removed and oil added; if the electric window device is not working well, carefully check whether the fuse for the electric window is damaged. Solutions: If it's an issue with oiling the internal mechanical device, first remove the inner cover. Remove the hidden screws and disassemble the quick-action switch. If that doesn't work, peel off the waterproof plastic sheet below to expose the window's lifting mechanism; if it's a window switch problem, then you can only go to a 4S shop to apply for a new window switch replacement. Maintenance: Regularly oil the internal mechanical devices of the window, and clean the internal stains, dust, and other impurities to avoid affecting the window's lifting.
I recently experienced the frustration of not being able to close the car window. There are several common reasons for this: the button switch may be worn out, causing poor contact and no response when pressed; if the electric motor fails, you might hear a clicking sound but the window won't move at all, like a dead chicken; a blown fuse can interrupt the current—check the car's fuse box for the one corresponding to the window; dust, leaves, or even small stones stuck in the window track can prevent it from rising; the anti-pinch system might be too sensitive, stopping the window from closing if it senses resistance, like when your hand is accidentally near the window. Additionally, short circuits, moisture in the wiring, or control module failures can also cause this issue. I once had a problem where my window wouldn't close on a rainy day, and it turned out the motor was rusted and broken, requiring replacement. To prevent these issues, regularly clean the window tracks to reduce debris buildup, avoid pressing buttons randomly to prevent short circuits, and ensure safe driving—otherwise, the risk is much higher if the window won't close on the highway.
Don't panic if your car window won't roll up—try these simple checks first. See if the button light turns on when pressed. If it lights up but nothing happens, the switch might be faulty or have poor contact. If you hear the motor humming but the glass doesn't move, the motor could be stuck or worn out and needs repair. If there's no sound at all, the fuse is likely blown—try replacing the corresponding fuse in the fuse box. If debris is blocking the window track, simply clean it out; wiping the track's inner walls with a towel can easily solve the issue. Problems with the motor or wiring require professional tools for diagnosis, especially if the anti-pinch sensor is falsely triggered, causing the window to stop and not close. I recommend starting with low-cost fixes like replacing the fuse or cleaning the track. If that doesn't work, take it to a repair shop—don't delay, as driving with a malfunctioning window affects safety, increases wind noise, and reduces fuel efficiency.
