What are the reasons for the unresponsive electric windows in FAW J6?
2 Answers
FAW J6 electric windows being unresponsive can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Control switch malfunction: In older vehicles with frequent window operation, control switch failures are common. Initial symptoms include requiring excessive force for response, eventually leading to complete failure. 2. Wiring issues: Original vehicle wiring rarely fails, with blown fuses being the most common issue. Often, problems arise when owners modify wiring or install one-touch window functions, causing malfunctions in the window control circuit and rendering the regulators inoperative. 3. Obstructions in window channels: Many higher-trim models feature anti-pinch protection. Foreign objects in channels, aging channel rubber, or excessive dust accumulation can trigger this safety feature, preventing window movement.
I have experience with my FAW J6's unresponsive windows: common causes include a broken switch button, poor contact in the main control panel due to long-term pressing causing contact wear; a burned-out motor, possibly from forced operation under overload when the window is stuck or from water ingress causing rust; wiring issues like short circuits or open circuits, such as aging or crushed internal door wiring; a blown fuse—check the corresponding position in the fuse box for burn marks; or a faulty door control module. High humidity in summer and frequent window operation can accelerate these issues. If not repaired promptly, it not only makes operation inconvenient but also affects emergency escape—if the window can't be opened manually during a rollover, it could be dangerous. I recommend first checking simple fixes like the fuse and switch, and if that doesn’t work, consult a professional with a diagnostic tool to inspect the circuit.
