What are the reasons why car electric windows cannot be raised or lowered?
2 Answers
Reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered: aging or deformed rubber seals, dirty window tracks with foreign objects, motor failure, or low battery power. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Issues with rubber seals: Aging, excessive dirt, or deformation of the seals can create resistance when raising or lowering the windows. 2. Dirty window tracks: Similarly a lubrication issue, cleaning the window tracks and applying grease can resolve the problem. 3. Low battery power: When raising or lowering windows without the engine running, the battery's power is consumed. If the battery power is too low, difficulty in raising or lowering may occur. 4. Motor failure: If there is sufficient power and no resistance, difficulty in raising or lowering the windows is likely due to motor failure. 5. Window regulator failure: Including issues with the window tracks, cable failure, or slider failure, requiring replacement of the window regulator. 6. Improper rubber seals: Some vehicles may have improperly fitted rubber seals.
There are many reasons why car electric windows cannot move up or down, and I think starting with the switch is the easiest. The switch button may develop poor contact or internal damage after prolonged use, failing to send commands. If you don't hear a click when pressing it, it's a sign of signal failure. The fuse is also crucial—when it blows, it cuts off power directly. Just locate the corresponding position in the fuse box under the driver's seat and replace it with a new one. As for the motor, burnout or jamming is the most troublesome, often manifesting as strange noises without movement, requiring professional attention. Short circuits or open circuits in the wiring are also common, especially when connectors get wet and corrode in rainy weather. Dust buildup or deformation in the window tracks can cause the glass to get stuck—don't force it open to avoid damaging the motor. Overall, regular cleaning and lubrication of the windows can prevent these issues, as repairs can be costly once they occur.
