What are the reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered?

Window lift motor damage or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness; motor overheating protection; clogged tracks or aging rubber seals; damaged window lift switch; misaligned track installation positions, etc., can all cause car windows to fail to raise or lower. The specific reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered are analyzed as follows: 1. Window lift motor damage or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness: If there is a burnt smell or abnormal noise inside the door panel when holding down the window button for a long time, it is likely that the window lift motor components are damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor. 2. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors have an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window lift to malfunction. In this case, simply wait for the motor to cool down. 3. Clogged tracks or aging rubber seals: Most cases of car windows failing to raise or lower are caused by mechanical jamming. Cleaning the tracks and applying some lubricant usually resolves the issue. If the problem is caused by aging or deformed window rubber seals, replacing the new seals or cleaning them if they are too dirty is necessary. Spraying some dashboard wax on the window seals or applying talcum powder (to act as a lubricant) generally yields good results.
