What causes the power window to stop working?

Window malfunctions are typically caused by a faulty window regulator (also called a window track), or a broken motor, cable pulley or window switch. Power window issues can be intermittent or permanent. Intermittent problems can cause windows to stop working temporarily only to work again and have more problems later.Shah

Why did my window randomly stop working?

The most common power window mechanism is pretty basic. Age and a few sticky window channels can pop a fuse. Turn the key to the Run position, but don’t start the car. If the fuse is blown, pushing a window button will do nothing at all: The motor won’t groan and the glass won’t quiver.

How do I fix my electric window not working?

Follow these steps to repair an electrical issue with your car’s windows:

Locate and check the fuse for the problematic window motor. If it’s blown, replace the fuse.
Remove the door panel.
Check the electrical input on the power and ground wires, which are generally the two largest wires connected to the window motor.

Does each window have its own fuse?

Check the fuse Other cars have individual fuses for each window motor so failure will only affect the one window. In some cars the fuse is in the main fusebox but many makers use in-line fuses so check with your manual to find where the fuse is and replace it if blown. Then test the window.
