Solutions for car window glass that cannot be raised or lowered: Turn on the ignition switch, hold the switch up and keep it pressed, continue holding for more than 3 seconds after the glass reaches the top, release the switch and immediately press and hold it down to lower the glass to the bottom for more than 3 seconds, then repeat the upward movement once more to complete the initialization procedure and restore the window raising and lowering function. Reasons why the car window glass cannot be raised or lowered: 1. If there is a burnt smell or abnormal noise inside the door panel when holding the window button for a long time, it is likely that the window lifting motor components are damaged; 2. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window to malfunction. In such cases, it is recommended to directly visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop for inspection and repair.
When the car window glass won't move up or down, I usually start by checking the easiest places first. A blown fuse is the most common issue - locate the vehicle's fuse box, check the manual to identify the window fuse, and replace it with a new one of the same specification if it's broken. Switch failure also frequently occurs; if there's no sound when pressed, remove the switch panel to check if the contacts are oxidized or dirty, then try cleaning them. Motor problems are more complicated - if you hear clicking sounds but the glass doesn't move, the motor might be burned out and needs replacement by a mechanic. Track jamming is another common cause, especially in older cars or when debris blocks the track; try spraying some lubricant or cleaning the track. Last time I encountered rusted tracks after rain - cleaning them and adding lubricant solved the problem, so regular maintenance can prevent such situations and avoid bigger issues.
