Electric Windows

It really depends on what type of vehicle it is since the process is different between makes, and models.

There are resources online such as the 1aauto.com YouTube auto repair channel that has quite a few how to videos that show the DIY type person how to perform a repairs such as these.

A link to the channel has been included below.

Do not use a blade as this will damage the printed circuit. The only way to do this is to persevere with some strong fingernails and gently pick at the edges removing small bits at a time. If the sticker is made from vinyl a hairdryer will work to soften the vinyl and adhesive allowing it to separate from the glass easier. If the sticker is paper based then soaking a small sponge or rag in a solvent (eg methylated spirits) and holding it against the sticker allowing it to penetrate the paper and dissolve the adhesive will work. Once the sticker has been removed then cleaning the remaining adhesive with methylated spirits will leave the window clean and sticker free. Good luck and remember patience is the key for a job like this.

You start by figuring out what's wrong with it. Can't tell you how to repair it without knowing that.

Car windows go up and down on a track. It has fallen off of the track.

First you have to remove the door panel, remove cover opposite outside mirror by prying off, there are 2 screws by the arm rest and 2 at the bottom of the door remove these.

remove small insert under the door handle by prying it off.

Pull straight up on door panel and it will slide up out of its retaining holes, the wires will have to be unplugged from the switches, depress tab and pull or pry with straight edge screw driver.

Plug switches back into harness and unplug the window motor use meter on 12vdc and put black lead (-) onto bare metal put red lead (+) onto one of the connectors in the plug you took off the motor, press switch up or down (one conn. is up the other dn) if you have 12vdc on both of these, replace the motor. It is attached with 2 small tork screws, remove these and motor can be slide out of the gear drive.

When reinstalling a new motor you might have to bump the up or down switch to get the motor worm gear to pull its self up into the gear drive,

Replacing the motor this way is a lot easier than replacing the entire regulator.

You need a few good tools and some mechanical skills to attempt this! If not DON'T

try.

Hope this helps.

Yes,it fails.

Not all doors have their own power window relay; typically, the power window system is designed with one central relay that controls multiple windows. In some vehicles, individual doors may have their own switches and wiring but rely on a central relay for power. However, high-end models or specific configurations might feature individual relays for each door. Always refer to the vehicle's wiring diagram for accurate information.

Check the fuse

The repair really depends on the manner in which the window failed, and what type of BMW you have. It could either be a mechanical or electrical failure. Pulling the door panel to investigate can be tricky, and some BMWs have lots of plastic bits that can get brittle and break if you aren't careful.

Your best best is to take the car to an independent mechanic who can diagnose your problem. A BMW specialist will have seen this problem many times before. If you need a mechanic, BimmerShops.com is a great place to find an independent BMW mechanic.

If you decide to troubleshoot it yourself, get a Bentley Manual for your car. This will guide you step-by-step through this repair and many others. If you plan to work on your car yourself, it's indispensable.

No, but you would need to check using the make model and year of the car.

And to make things better two door and four door cars often use different regulators, making six different parts for one job on the same car.

If both driver side windows of a 1990 Mercedes 190E are not working, it could be due to several reasons. Common issues include a faulty window regulator, a blown fuse, or problems with the power window switch. Additionally, there may be wiring issues or a malfunctioning central control module affecting both windows. It's best to perform a thorough electrical diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause.

well,

it might be stuck, or you arent pulling it hard enough, or maybe it goes in and out!

Peoples ignorant answers should speak for them. Power window I assume. The switch can be bad or the motor in the door. If only 1 window is stuck you are getting power. If all are not working check the fuse.

It is is manual, it may have come out of the track or the regulator stripped.

check your tailgate switch on the dash mine went bad and after i replaced it it was like new

It could be faulty wiring or more than likely the fuse is blown. check the owners manual for fuse locations, and use the extra fuses to replace any blown ones.

After several hours, it was found underneath the steering column and behind an air vent. Remove the change box, 3 bolts, and the panel that goes under the steering column. You will see a black air vent (tube). Remove the tube and there will be 3 fuses behind it. It is very well hidden :)

That fuse controls the seats, door locks and all windows.

Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.

The regulator has failed and needs replaced.

GOto each window, roll it half way, Then close it and keep holding button for 3 sec

how do I replace the passenger side window regulator on an E250, 2006. the window will not release to push to top of window frame only half way?

Any time I've had electric windows not respond to the switches, it has been broken wiring. This was with vehicles at least 8 or 10 years old. So far they wire have all been broken inside the rubber wire path on the driver door. The one the protects where the wires cross from under the dash through the door frame and into the door up to the controls. The wiring has gotten old and brittle and the driver door is always used so the wires are being flexed there the most.

That's usually a sign of a bad window motor/regulator. See the related link for tips on how to test the motor

remove door panel check to see if you are getting power and ground to motor. If so, bad motor--if no power to motor, check to see if you have power to switch if so ,bad switch--if not bad power feed to switch

close but if the switch not on, you never get power to the motor.
