The reason for the inability to raise or lower the driver's window in the new Focus is either a damaged window regulator or a fault in the control circuit. Damage to the regulator components or issues such as short circuits, open circuits, or poor connections in the control circuit will cause the driver's window to malfunction. The new Focus uses an electric window regulator, which consists of a motor, reducer, guide rope, guide plate, glass mounting bracket, and other components. The master switch is controlled by the driver to open and close all windows, while the individual switches on each door handle allow the driver to control each window separately. To initialize the window, turn on the ignition switch, pull and hold the switch to raise the window to the top, continue holding for more than 3 seconds, then release and immediately press and hold the switch to lower the window to the bottom for more than 3 seconds. Repeat the raising action once more to complete the initialization process and restore the window's functionality. This method is effective for most models. If the function is not restored, it is necessary to visit a professional repair shop for inspection. When using the electric window regulator, be cautious of small cards or other foreign objects in the window gap. If not handled properly, these objects may fall into the door interior. The internal structure of the door is complex, and objects falling inside can cause a series of chain reactions, such as regulator damage, door malfunction, or drainage port blockage.
