What could be the reason for all four windows of Zotye not being able to roll up or down?

Four windows suddenly failing to roll up or down could be due to issues with the window glass power supply circuit, or aging rubber guide channels on the window frame, or dust accumulation on the rubber strips. Excessive dust buildup can cause excessive resistance, preventing the windows from rolling up or down normally. Owners can use a wet towel wrapped around chopsticks to reach into the guide channels and slide back and forth to remove dirt. If the battery is disconnected or the power supply or ground wire of the window control module is disconnected during maintenance, the initialization data of the windows will be lost after restarting the engine, causing the windows to fail to roll up or down normally. In this case, the system can only be reset. Turn on the ignition switch, pull the switch up and hold it until the glass reaches the top, then continue holding for 3 to 5 seconds. Release the switch and immediately press and hold it again until the glass reaches the bottom for 3 seconds. Then repeat the upward motion once more to complete the initialization procedure.
I've seen this situation many times where all four windows fail to operate simultaneously, and the issue often lies in a core component of the vehicle. Speaking from my own driving experience, Zotye vehicles frequently experience master switch failures—if the panel next to the driver's seat malfunctions, all windows will stop working. Fuses are also a critical factor; a single blown fuse can cut off power. I recommend checking the fuse box first, usually located under the steering wheel or in the engine compartment, and inspecting the fuses marked for windows to see if they're blown. If it's a wiring issue, such as a short circuit caused by water infiltration during rainy days or aging and broken wire harnesses inside the door, it becomes more troublesome and requires professional diagnosis with a multimeter. Additionally, some Zotye models have issues with control module failures, and resetting the system can sometimes provide a temporary fix—try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then restarting. In short, checking the fuses as soon as the problem is detected saves time, money, and ensures safety.
