windows

Looking at the wiring diagram for your vehicle, I don't see any part of the circuit that would affect both rear windows, without also affecting the front. Because of this, my guess is that you have two failed power window...

Hi there. Since multiple windows are not rolling up or down, this rules out the window motors. The parts that require attention are the window switch themselves. Your master switch or each individual window switch may not be working properly....

There are a couple of different things that could cause this issue. The switch could have been damaged preventing a complete circuit from being made or the motor inside the door that controls the window could have gone bad. The...

Hi. Have a technician, experienced in electrical repair, inspect window system (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/windows-inspection) for proper operation and current draw, as well as binding in the window regulator assembly or window track. In the case of the damaged wiring, you may want...

Hi. The power window system is pretty simple. Pressing the up button applies power to the DC power window motor. The motor then lifts the window via the regulator, which is a scissor-type lifting device. Pressing the button down reverses...

I have seen this issue before. This is usually caused by a regulator that is broken. The regulator is the mechanism the window is attached to. It is what actually makes the window go up and down. If the regulator...

If the window is consistently coming off of the track then most of the time this is the result of a worn out window regulator. If the regulator is not moving evenly on both sides or if the window holding...

Hello. I will assume your drivers front window is not working. A mechanic can check the fuses for the window for any that may have blown. In the event of a blown fuses, some trouble in the circuit caused the...

Te problem most likely exists in the power window motor/regulator assembly if the fuse is good. The fuse should be checked first, and if the fuse is good, the door panel will need to be removed to check the condition...

If the motor does make a noise when the Down button is pressed, then the motor is not the cause; either the regulator is binding the motor from turning the window up, or the switch needs to be replaced at...

If none of the windows are working from any of the switches, there must be a common circuit problem. The first thing I would do is check the fuse. Fuse information can be found in your owner's manual. If the...

In order to save your interior from the weather, I would recommend having this issue diagnosed and resolved immediately. Your door panel may need to be removed in order to inspect and fix this issue. Enlist the help of an expert...

Hello. It sounds like the window motor failed. It is much easier for a failing motor to lower and window and not be able to close it. I would typically remove the door panel and first check the voltage at...

These are two problems that will probably need to be addressed separately. The window being stuck may be caused by a bad regulator or motor, or even a switch. If the interior door handle is not opening the door, there...

Hello, there are a variety of causes for the power window regulator (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-window-motor-regulator-assembly) to fail. The most likely would be the regulator, switch, and regulator motor. Given that these have been replaced it should take care of the issue. Humidity...

Typically, when a window comes off its track, it is a good indication that a component within the system has failed. When it comes to your Saturn Ion, it may be a matter of removing the door panel and using...

Thank you for your inquiry. If the window will not go up or down easily, or seems to shift during operation, the window regulator may have a mechanical failure. This includes a broken mechanical connection to the glass or even...

There are a few reasons why the window in your Honda Civic will not roll up or down. The issue may be as simple as a blown fuse, or something as serious as a bad window motor. There may also...

Hello! That is an extremely common issue that owners of your particular vehicle face. The window malfunction is usually caused by corrosion on the window switch. I suggest that the switch be opened and the circuit board inside of it...

Hello! That is a problem that several owners of the 350Z have faced. I personally have repaired three 350Z windows, and all three had a malfunction of the driver's side window; in each case, the cause was the driver's side...
