What to Do When the Cabin Window Glass Cannot Be Raised or Lowered?
2 Answers
There are many reasons why the cabin window glass cannot be raised or lowered. Below are the specific causes and solutions: 1. Damaged window lift motor or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness: In this case, it is recommended to directly visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor. 2. Motor overheating protection: If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window to stop functioning. In this situation, simply wait for the motor to cool down. 3. Clogged guide rails or aging rubber seals: Simply clean the guide rails and apply some lubricant. If the issue is caused by aging or deformed glass seals, replace the new sealing strip. If it is too dirty, just clean it. 4. Damaged window lift switch: In this case, simply replace the entire window lift switch.
I've been driving for almost ten years and have encountered the issue of windows not rolling up or down several times, each time learning something new. The most common cause is a faulty switch on the driver's side, where dust-covered contacts lead to poor connectivity—no matter how much you press, there's just no response. Another possibility is a blown fuse, located in the fuse box under the steering wheel; simply find and replace the one corresponding to the window in question. If all other windows work except this one, it's likely a problem with the switch or connecting wires. Don't try to force it open yourself—take it to an auto repair shop to check if the switch or motor is burnt out; they have the tools to diagnose more accurately. For safety, if the window gets stuck during rain and affects visibility, drive with the air conditioning on to ventilate. Regularly cleaning around the switch to reduce dust buildup can prevent malfunctions—I do this now and find it quite effective.
