What is the reason for three car windows not responding after replacing the battery?
3 Answers
The reasons for three car windows not responding after replacing the battery: the window control lock is locked, wiring issues, or abnormal door control module. Window control lock is locked: The window control lock on the driver's side is locked. Press and hold the button to lower the window to the bottom, keep it for a few seconds, then raise the window to the top and hold it for a few more seconds. Wiring issues: If it's a wiring issue, you need to go to a 4S shop or a professional electrical repair shop for maintenance. Abnormal door control module: If the window lift control button malfunctions or the battery power is insufficient, etc., after disconnecting and reconnecting the car battery, the automatic lift function of the electric window lift may temporarily fail.
The windows not working after a battery replacement is something I've encountered before, and it's quite common. Usually, it's due to the circuit needing reinitialization or a fuse issue. When replacing a car battery, the entire electrical system experiences a brief power interruption, which can cause the power window control module to lose its memory or a fuse to blow. A simple check: first locate the vehicle's fuse box, typically near the driver's seat or in the engine compartment, and check if the window fuse has blown; try replacing it with a new one. Another common reason is that the windows need a manual reset: after closing the door firmly, press the window switch up and down several times to let the system relearn the position. If all three windows aren't moving, it might be a problem with the main control switch or wiring, such as a short circuit or loose ground. It's advisable not to disassemble things randomly yourself; instead, visit a repair shop to have it checked with a diagnostic tool to avoid damaging more components. Regular maintenance, like ensuring the windows operate smoothly, can help prevent similar issues.
Window malfunction occurring after battery replacement can be caused by several factors. Replacing the battery resets the vehicle's electrical system, requiring window reprogramming or initialization. First, check the fuse: open the fuse box, locate the section labeled "window" or "power window," and replace with a new fuse. If that doesn't work, try resetting the procedure: close all doors, sit in the driver's seat, hold the window open button for 10 seconds then release, then hold the window close button for 10 seconds - the system should reset. If multiple windows aren't responding, it may relate to main controller or wiring issues like loose connectors, short circuits, especially with unstable voltage from poor battery connections. Recommend using a multimeter to test voltage or having a technician diagnose. From my experience, regularly cleaning dust from door frames can help prevent such issues.
