The window regulator control box of Changan Eado is located on the driver's door. Appearance: Its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4730mm, width 1820mm, height 1505mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 53l, trunk capacity of 500l, and curb weight of 1340kg. Power: The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, equipped with a 1.4l turbocharged engine, maximum horsepower of 160ps, maximum power of 118kw, maximum torque of 260nm, matched with a 7-speed transmission.
As someone who frequently repairs cars, I must say the window regulator control box of the Changan Eado is usually hidden inside the driver's side door panel. If you remove the door trim and look inside, you'll find it stuck near the steel plate. This placement is deliberate: first, it's close to the window switch for shorter wiring and faster signal transmission; second, it's protected from rain to prevent short circuits. Don't randomly pry off the door trim clips, as they can easily damage the plastic parts. If you really can't find it, first check the vehicle manual or use a multimeter to test the circuit to avoid accidentally blowing a fuse. Occasional window regulator failures are common in older cars, usually due to moisture erosion or corroded connectors. My advice is regular maintenance, such as annual checks of door seals for moisture prevention. However, the exact location may vary by model year; post-2014 models changed to a lower section of the center console. The most reliable method is to visit a 4S shop for diagnostic tool positioning. In any case, don't take window issues lightly while driving, as they can affect safety.
As a veteran owner who has driven the Eado for ten years, when the power window acts up, I've checked the control box location. It's mostly behind the driver's door panel—easy to access but requires gentle handling. The placement is designed for practicality, making daily operation convenient. Last time my window got stuck, it turned out to be oxidized contacts in the control box; a simple cleaning fixed it. Regularly check for water accumulation in door panels, especially during rainy seasons, as moisture can cause short circuits. Owners should first inspect electrical connections, like loose plugs. If windows move slowly or make noise, it’s likely due to poor heat dissipation in the control module. The door panel location offers easy part replacement, though early Eado models had bulkier control boxes—newer versions may relocate under the seat (refer to the manual for accuracy). Remember: safety first—always disconnect power before working.
