It's pretty frustrating when your driver's window won't work. You can't get your food at the drive-thru without opening the door, have a tough time using the ATM from your vehicle, can't have that fresh breeze blowing through your hair as you listen to your favorite road tunes.
Plus, there's a safety factor. Your windows provide an escape route in case you need to get out and the doors won't work. Let's take a look at what's going on when your window won't operate.
Most vehicles these days have power windows. They have an electric motor in each power window and sometimes those fail. They often give you a warning that they're on their last legs by making a noise or hesitating, so if you get a sign like that, have a technician check it out. Loss of power can also be due to a blown fuse, a bad switch or faulty wiring.
All windows have something called a regulator that moves the glass up and down. They have a lot of moving parts in them which can break, become bent, rust or get out of alignment. The glass moves along a window track guide. Sometimes if the glass gets out of the track, it won't move up and down the way it's designed to do.
When you take your vehicle over to a repair facility, a technician can pinpoint the cause of your malfunctioning window. Often it involves having to remove the door panel to gain access to the components inside. But when everything's working right, you'll be able to throw that annoying inconvenience right out the window.
