Why do all the power windows of the Bora fail to work?
2 Answers
The reasons for the failure of the Bora's power windows include: deformation or damage of the window seal groove; loosening of the window regulator's fixing screws; damage to the window regulator; deviation in the installation position of the guide rail. Here is an introduction to the Bora's power windows: 1. Window Regulator: The window regulator is the lifting device for car door and window glass, mainly divided into electric window regulators and manual window regulators. Nowadays, many cars use button-operated electric lifting mechanisms for their door and window glass, employing electric window regulators. 2. One-touch Window Control: One-touch window control refers to a system where car window glass can be fully opened or closed with a single press of a button. Cars equipped with one-touch window control have two-stage window control switches. The first stage operates like a regular power window. The second stage allows the window to automatically fully open or close with a single press and release of the button.
Last week when I was driving my Volkswagen Bora, all the power windows suddenly stopped working - the switches had no response at all. This situation is usually caused by failure of common components, such as a blown main fuse; since the fuse protects the entire window circuit, it can easily melt due to overload or short circuit. The Bora model has a dedicated fuse in the driver's side fuse box - its exact position can be found in the manual. Another common cause is failure of the master control switch that manages all window operations; stuck buttons or poor contact can lead to complete system failure. Wiring issues like short circuits from aging wire harnesses or loose connectors at door hinges may also be responsible. When I encountered this, I first tried replacing the fuse but the problem persisted; later at a professional shop they diagnosed a faulty switch module. For daily use, avoid forcing windows open when frozen or excessive switching to reduce electrical load; regular lubrication of tracks and cleaning of contacts can minimize failures. For safety, if this occurs, immediately pull over to check basic points to prevent hazards.
