What is the recovery method when all windows of the Brilliance Junjie malfunction?
3 Answers
1. Window initialization: Method: Turn on the ignition switch, pull and hold the switch upward. After the glass rises to the top, continue pulling for more than 3 seconds. Release the switch and immediately press and hold it downward to lower the glass to the bottom for more than 3 seconds. Then repeat the upward movement once more to complete the initialization process, restoring the window lift function. 2. Apply lubricant or replace the rubber seal: Method: Most cases of non-functioning windows are caused by mechanical jamming. Simply clean the guide rails and apply some lubricating oil. If the malfunction is caused by aging or deformation of the glass rubber seal, replace it with a new one. If it's just dirty, cleaning it directly should suffice. Spraying some dashboard wax on the glass seal or applying talcum powder (for lubrication) usually yields good results.
Last time I drove a Zhonghua Junjie, I also encountered all the windows malfunctioning, and it took me a while to fix it. The most likely cause is a blown fuse, usually located in the fuse box under the lower left side of the driver's seat. Look for one labeled 'window' or 'POWER,' use a special clip to pull it out, and check if it's melted. If it's blown, buy a replacement of the same specification at an auto parts store and swap it in. If it's not blown, the issue might be a faulty master control switch—try resetting it by turning off the car, removing the key for a few minutes, then powering it back on and pressing the window buttons. Avoid pressing the window buttons excessively during car washes, as water can seep into the switches. This is a common issue, and handling it yourself can save money, but if the wiring is complex, it's safer to visit a repair shop—safety first. Remember to wear insulated gloves when checking, and avoid touching exposed wires.
I've been driving my Jinjie for ten years, and window malfunctions are often due to wiring or switch issues. First, check the fuse. The fuse box is located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Look for a 20A fuse and replace it if it's blown. If the fuse is intact, try resetting by disconnecting the power: turn off the engine and close all windows, wait five minutes, then restart the car and hold each window switch for ten seconds. If it still doesn't work, the main switch might have poor contact. You can disassemble it yourself to clean the dirty contacts with an alcohol swab. Remember to disconnect the power to protect the circuit board and avoid short circuits that could cause more damage. Also, check the wiring harness inside the door for any exposed or water-damaged wires, especially after rain, as this can easily cause a short circuit. Simple tasks can be DIY, but if you're unsure, visit a professional shop. Parts for older Zhonghua cars are hard to find, and if it can't be fixed, the whole set might need replacement.
