What to Do When the Remote Key Doesn't Roll Up the Window When Held Down?
2 Answers
Remote key window control failure occurs when the car's body computer loses the data for the remote key to control the windows. This function can be restored by performing an initialization match using the door window switch and the lock button. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Step on the pedal: Depress the car's brake pedal. 2. Press the start button: Press the car's one-touch start button. 3. Turn on the power: The car's dashboard lights up, and the entire vehicle's power is turned on. 4. Pull the window regulator: Pull the car's window regulator up to the highest point. 5. Press the lock button: Press the car's door lock button and hold it for 10 seconds.
Last time I also encountered the issue where the remote key couldn't roll up the windows when held down. I suspected it was due to a dead battery or signal problem. First, check if the key's light is on. If it's not flashing, replacing it with a new battery might solve the problem. If changing the battery doesn't work, try resetting the window memory function: sit in the car with all windows closed, then hold the window-up button for a few seconds until you hear a sound before releasing. Many cars, like the Volkswagen series, can be fixed just by resetting like this. Sometimes dust on the window tracks can cause jamming; cleaning the tracks and adding some lubricant can prevent sticking. Also, check if the remote function is disabled in the vehicle settings, especially in newly purchased cars or after system updates, as this is a common issue. Remember not to fiddle with it while driving—safety first. Always prioritize using the door buttons for operation.
