What could be the reason for the sudden failure of all four door windows to roll up or down in an old Lavida?

Possible issues could be with the control module or the electrical circuit. Problems with window rolling may arise from the following situations: 1. Damaged window regulator: If there is a burnt smell or unusual noises inside the door panel when holding down the window button, it is likely that the window regulator motor components are damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window regulator motor. 2. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, window regulator motors generally have an overheating protection mechanism. If components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter a protection state, causing the window to stop rolling. 3. Excessive resistance in the window guide channel: The door window guide channel is an easily overlooked detail. Over time, dust can accumulate in the guide channel, increasing resistance and potentially making it difficult for the window to roll up.
That day when I was driving my old Lavida, all four power windows suddenly got stuck and wouldn't move up or down, leaving me flustered. At first I thought the door buttons were broken, but after checking I found it was a blown fuse - located that little guy in the fuse box under the steering wheel. If you encounter similar situations, don't rush to the repair shop. Just open the cover and replace the fuse yourself - it only costs a few bucks. This issue might stem from aging wires or voltage fluctuations, especially after getting wet in rainy weather which can easily cause short circuits. If not fixed promptly, stuck windows will affect ventilation and safety - in case of an accident, escape would be difficult. Let me remind you - old cars need attentive care like looking after children. Regularly inspect the electrical system to prevent breakdowns.
