What's the reason for the failure of Boyue's automatic window locking?
4 Answers
Boyue's automatic window locking failure may be caused by a momentary poor connection or power interruption of related components, leading to functional failure. Simply reset the one-touch window up/down function. Brief introduction to automatic door locking usage: For vehicles with keyless entry system, after parking and exiting the vehicle, close the door. There is a simulated button on the door handle - pressing it once will lock the doors (when the key is within 1.5 meters). To unlock, simply pull the door handle as there are internal sensors. Brief introduction to car keys: A key refers to a tool for unlocking. A car key is a tool for switching the car on/off. Modern car keys all use chips with magnetic chip systems. The car's ignition lock cylinder reading coil will read the key's chip; all chips contain fixed digital information. Remote keys refer to keys that can lock/unlock doors from a distance without inserting into the lock cylinder, with the main advantage being the ability to conveniently lock/unlock from a distance regardless of day or night without locating the keyhole. The remote key emits weak radio waves from the owner's vicinity, which are received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) identifies the signal code, then the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) executes the lock/unlock action. This system mainly consists of transmitter and receiver components.
As a longtime owner of the Boyue, I've encountered this issue before, and it was quite a scare at the time. When the windows wouldn't auto-lock, I checked the switches and fuses, suspecting it might be due to motor overheating or aging wiring. From my experience, the power window system in Boyue models is a bit sensitive and often malfunctions due to dust accumulation on sensors or voltage instability. I tried cleaning the window tracks and resetting the system, which worked temporarily, but the problem persisted long-term. Eventually, a visit to the 4S shop revealed a faulty control module, which was replaced. I recommend fellow owners to regularly maintain the window frames to prevent short circuits from water left after rainy drives. Overall, it's not a major issue but affects convenience. Addressing it promptly is crucial for safety, especially when parking roadside at night, which poses risks.
As an enthusiast who frequently tinkers with automotive electrical systems, I've found that the window lock malfunction in the Geely Boyue is mostly caused by electrical faults. It could be due to worn-out contacts in the window switch or a short circuit that blew a fuse, which tends to occur frequently during rainy days or on bumpy roads. I usually use a multimeter to check if the power supply is stable, but ordinary car owners can first check if the manual mode was accidentally activated in the vehicle settings. If that doesn't work, inspect the corresponding fuse in the trunk's fuse box. If the malfunction persists, it's likely due to a sticky relay or a confused module program. In such cases, don't delay—just visit a service center to refresh the system. Prevention is simple: regularly clean the window tracks to prevent debris from jamming the lifting mechanism, and have the mechanic test it during routine maintenance.
From my perspective, the window issue with the Boyue should be considered from a safety standpoint—once malfunctioning, it can be quite hazardous. Failure to auto-lock may lead to rainwater seepage or burglary risks, with common causes including sensor misalignment or erroneous anti-pinch function triggering. When addressing this, I first try restarting the vehicle, then manually raising the window a few times to reset it. If ineffective, it might be due to motor gear wear or loose wiring harness connections. Avoid disassembling it yourself to prevent damaging the seals; instead, directly visit a professional shop for diagnostic tool testing, which is more reliable. Such malfunctions often occur in hot weather or after frequent window operations—maintaining good interior ventilation can reduce circuit load. In short, acting promptly ensures peace of mind.
