Are your car windows refusing to roll up or down? There are a few different causes behind this.
A Subaru driver dropped off their vehicle at HomeTowne after realizing the passenger car windows weren’t working.
First, the technician checked the window switches. He then moved on to the motors for the passenger windows and learned they weren’t working.
Located in the car door, the window motor is one part that is needed to open and close the window.
When you press the switch, a current goes to the motor. This starts the regulator, which causes the window to go up and down.
For some vehicles, the motor and regulator can be ordered separately. In this case, they came as one assembly.
What can cause problems with car windows?
The motor going bad is one car window problem that can occur. It could also be installed incorrectly.
A window with automatic up and down may not roll down if a car battery has been changed or disconnected. Some drivers believe that the window is broken, when it just needs to be reprogrammed.
This issue can also happen with sunroofs.
The window switch is another part that can stop working.
If your window isn’t opening or closing, it’s also a good idea to make sure the window lock button hasn’t been pressed.
