Where is the window regulator control box of Chery Flagcloud 1 located?

The window regulator control box of Chery Flagcloud is located next to the car battery in the engine compartment. It is the control computer used to operate the vehicle's window glass movement and can be controlled via the window switch on the car door. Classification of automotive window regulators: Automotive window regulators can be structurally divided into arm-type window regulators and flexible-type window regulators. The arm-type window regulators include single-arm window regulators and double-arm window regulators. The flexible-type window regulators include cable-pulley window regulators, belt-type window regulators, and flexible-shaft window regulators. Handling difficult window movement: Initialize the window. The window initialization procedure is as follows: turn on the ignition switch, pull and hold the switch upward, continue holding for more than 3 seconds after the glass reaches the top, release the switch and immediately press and hold it downward until the glass reaches the bottom and wait for more than 3 seconds, then repeat the upward movement once more. The initialization process is now complete, and the window movement function is restored.
Last time I repaired my old Chery Cowin 1, I specifically studied the window regulator control box. This component is usually installed on the inner side of the driver's door trim panel, and you'll need to remove the trim panel cover to see it—it's a small black square box. I recommend first checking if there's any issue with the fuse box; the fuse location is typically behind the storage compartment under the steering wheel. If the window doesn't respond but you can hear the motor running, there's a high chance the control box has poor contact or is faulty. If you're handy, you can remove the door panel to inspect the wiring connectors, but be careful not to break the spring clips. Older car plastic parts are brittle, so it's safer to have a repair shop handle it.
I just replaced this part on my Chery Flagcloud 1 myself. The control box and motor are usually integrated inside the driver's door, and you can find it by following the wiring harness of the window switch. This component is most afraid of water ingress - when the rubber seals age, rainwater can seep in and corrode the circuit board. Be sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on it, otherwise you might blow a fuse when unplugging connectors. Car manufacturers designed it this way mainly for more compact wiring layout, but it does make removal and installation troublesome. If all windows fail simultaneously, you might need to check the driver's side fuse box; if it's just one window malfunctioning, it's usually the door control module's fault.
