What are the solutions for the Honda Fit's front window not rolling up?
3 Answers
Solutions include: 1. Method one: Reset the window lift system. The car window not rolling up is usually caused by the loss of initialization data due to the battery being disconnected, maintenance work on other systems disconnecting the power or ground wire of the window control module, or severe power shortage when starting the engine. In such cases, simply resetting the system can resolve the issue. 2. Method two: Clean out dirt from the glass guide channel. Problems such as the window glass being tilted, difficulty in rolling up or down, or automatically rolling down when trying to roll up are mostly caused by excessive dirt and debris in the glass guide channel, increasing resistance. 3. Method three: Directly replace the window lift switch. The window lift switch is one of the most frequently used switches in a car, almost used every time you drive, so the probability of it being damaged is also quite high.
I often fix my car myself. When the front window of my Honda Fit won't roll up, I usually start by checking the fuse box—located near the driver's knee—to see if the fuse for the window has blown. Replacing a new fuse only costs a few bucks. If the fuse is fine, I then test the switch: press it back and forth a few times to listen for any motor sound; no response might mean the switch is broken. Next, I remove the door panel to check if the window motor and rails are stuck or worn out—adding some lubricant might make it smooth again. If it still doesn't work, I have to visit a professional shop, as a short circuit could damage the motor. DIY saves money, but don't push too hard—safety first. Last time, when I couldn't figure out the issue, I let a mechanic handle it, costing just over 200 yuan, which was totally worth it.
I also encountered the annoying issue of the window not rolling up when I first drove my Honda Fit, which made me hesitant to go out on rainy days. I know a few solutions: first, try if the other windows can move. If none of them work, it's likely a problem with the main switch or a blown fuse—just replace it with a spare fuse. If it's just one window acting up, the issue might be a burnt-out motor in that window's regulator or dust buildup in the tracks jamming it. I've cleaned it a few times myself with a cloth, and it worked. If pressing the switch doesn’t make any sound, you’ll need to replace the part, which can be bought on Taobao for just a few dozen yuan. Remember, don’t force the window up, as it can easily damage the mechanical parts. In the end, I went to a repair shop for a full diagnosis—they quickly pinpointed the problem with their equipment and fixed it, saving me both hassle and ensuring safety.
