What are the solutions for electric windows that cannot be raised or lowered?
1 Answers
Electric windows that cannot be raised or lowered may have the following causes and solutions: 1. Damaged window lift motor or poor contact in the electrical control wiring: If there is a burnt smell or unusual noise from the door panel when holding down the window button, it is likely that the window lift motor components are 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: To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors have an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for any reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window to malfunction. In this case, simply wait for the motor to cool down. 3. Clogged tracks or aging rubber seals: Most cases of windows not moving are caused by mechanical jamming. Cleaning the tracks and applying some lubricant should resolve the issue. If the issue is caused by aging or deformed rubber seals, replacing the new seals is necessary. If they are just dirty, cleaning them will suffice. Spraying some dashboard wax or applying talcum powder (for lubrication) on the window seals usually yields good results. 4. Lost initialization data: If the battery is disconnected or the power or ground wire of the window control module is disconnected during maintenance of other systems, the initialization data of the window may be lost, causing the window to malfunction. In this case, the window lift needs to be reset. 5. Damaged window lift switch: The window lift switch in a car is used very frequently—almost every time the car is driven—so the probability of it being damaged is quite high. In this case, simply replace the entire window lift switch.
