The reasons for the failure of the Volkswagen Lavida's power window operation: 1. Damage to the window lift motor or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness: It is highly likely that the window lift motor component is damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly contact a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor; 2. Motor overheating protection: If the components overheat due to some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, leading to the failure of the window operation. In this situation, simply wait for the motor to cool down; 3. Blocked guide rails or aging rubber seals: Most cases where the window glass cannot be raised or lowered are caused by mechanical jamming. Cleaning the guide rails and applying some lubricant should resolve the issue. If the fault is caused by aging or deformation of the glass rubber seal, then a new sealing strip needs to be replaced.
Common causes of power window failure in the Lavida include blown fuses, switch malfunctions, or wiring issues. From my experience, when windows stop moving, the first step is to check the fuses in the fuse box, especially the one on the driver's door side, which is prone to blowing due to overload. If the switch button is stuck or unresponsive, it might be due to oxidized internal contacts that need cleaning. Wiring shorts or aging often occur at door hinge bends, and water accumulation during rainy days can accelerate corrosion. If the window regulator motor hums but doesn't move, it indicates damaged gears requiring replacement. Additionally, accidental triggering of the anti-pinch function can lock the windows, which can sometimes be fixed by resetting the switch. It's advisable to start with simple steps like checking fuses and cleaning switches. If that doesn't work, consult a professional technician to avoid potential circuit hazards affecting safety.
