Why doesn't the Audi window respond when holding down the lock button?
2 Answers
Initialization methods generally involve turning on the ignition. Pull and hold the switch upward, and after the window reaches the top, continue holding for more than 3 seconds. Release the switch and immediately press and hold it down to lower the window to the bottom for more than 3 seconds. Then pull and hold the switch upward again, and after the window reaches the top, continue holding for more than 3 seconds. The initialization is now complete, and the window should restore its original function. Different car models may have slightly different initialization procedures. If this general method doesn't work, refer to your owner's manual or consult a service station. If initialization still fails despite using the correct method, there may be issues with components such as the left front door lock, the body control module, the door lock position switch, or the lock cylinder switch. It is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a service station.
I drive an Audi A4, and sometimes holding down the lock button doesn't close the windows, which is really annoying. Replacing the key battery once solved the problem; most Audi cars come with a one-touch window-closing feature, but it might be disabled by default—you need to enable it in the window settings of the car's central control menu. If there's a motor failure or poor wiring contact, the function may fail when the window regulator gets stuck, so try manually testing it with the car's interior switch. Daily prevention is simple: replace the key battery every two years and avoid storing the key in damp places. It's even more frustrating when rain gets inside and damages the interior because the windows aren't closed. Timely diagnosis at a 4S shop can prevent other electronic issues, such as control module failures.
