What are the reasons why the car window suddenly cannot be opened?

There are generally several reasons why a car window cannot be opened: 1. The window lift channel is deformed or damaged; 2. The screws securing the window regulator are loose; 3. The window regulator is damaged; 4. There is a misalignment in the installation position of the guide rail. Additional information: Car windows are typically divided into four types: front and rear windshields, ventilation windows, heat-insulating side windows, and sunroofs. 1. Front and rear windshields: The front and rear windshields of a car usually use curved glass that is both aesthetically pleasing and provides good visibility. In sedans, the front and rear windshields are also referred to as front and rear windshields. 2. Ventilation windows: To facilitate natural ventilation, some cars have triangular ventilation windows on the doors. These triangular ventilation windows can rotate around a vertical axis, with the front part turning inward and the rear part turning outward, creating a vortex of air around the window and promoting circulation. 3. Heat-insulating side windows: Side windows often use tinted glass or have a heat-insulating layer to maintain interior warmth and provide a quiet, comfortable feeling. High-end buses with comprehensive air conditioning, heating, ventilation, and climate control systems often design side windows as non-opening to enhance the vehicle's sealing. 4. Sunroofs: Sunroofs (also known as car skylights) and other windows, when opened, connect the car interior with the outside, approximating the performance of a convertible, allowing passengers to fully enjoy the bright sunshine and fresh air during pleasant weather. Sunroofs not only increase interior lighting but also serve as an effective natural ventilation device.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and frequently encounter sudden window failures. The most common issues are poor contact in the window switch, stuck buttons, or interrupted signal transmission due to aging wiring. Blown fuses are also regular occurrences, especially after car washes during rainy seasons when circuits are prone to water ingress and short circuits - simply replace with an identical fuse from the fuse box. Another frequent culprit is the lift motor failing, particularly in vehicles aged seven or eight years; when the motor's carbon brushes wear out, it stops working and requires replacement. Sticking glass is another headache - accumulated sand/dust in the tracks or deformed rubber seals make window movement difficult. Wiring harnesses breaking from repeated door folding is also common, necessitating door panel removal for inspection. Don't forget to clean window tracks during routine maintenance; applying lubricant twice annually can extend component lifespan by several years.
