Electric Windows

Wood or stone that runs along the bottom of a door or window

probably window regulator

broken switch or fuze

Dear User, You should be able to open up the side panel fairly easy and you can replace the electric crank with a hand crank. or just fix the electric crank

To remove the window winder from a Vivaro van, start by prying off the decorative cover, if applicable, using a flat tool. Next, locate the retaining screw, usually found in the center of the winder, and unscrew it with the appropriate screwdriver. Once the screw is removed, gently pull the winder off the shaft by twisting it slightly, ensuring not to damage the mechanism. If needed, consult the vehicle's manual for specific instructions related to your model year.

the motor in the door could have burnt out. it takes about 200 dollars to fix. (labor included) at least at the shop that i go to.

Most likely the plastic gears are wearing down - you can find a repair kit rather than replace the motor - also, the window guides will likely be worn down - does the window move side to side or back and forth - that will cause wear and tear on the gear - should be tight.

# Call the emergency services and tell them: who you are; what has happened; and where you and the victims are located. # Check their body from a distance (at least a couple of yards/metres - remember, electricity can fly at high enough voltages). If there are any cables or metal objects touching them or if they are in water or a vehicle which is contacting metal/powerlines, use a plastic or wooden rod/pole to remove the metal object where possible. If you can do so safely and easily, find the switch for the power source and deactivate it. # Check their pulse and breathing; CPR may be needed. If you don't know how to perform it, wait for someone who does. If possible, place jackets/blankets/ warm layers around the victim(s) to keep them warm. Keep talking to them, on the offchance they are semiconcious.

Yes, because it is a much smaller machine, thus has less power requirements. Disagree - are you certain that a small machine running for (ie) 12 hours, will use less electricity than a central A/C unit running for (ie) 3 hours?

Not in NJ, but you get to bypass the regular State inspection line and can go through the shorter reinspection line for this non-emission, "safety" issue if you repair and reinspect within the period they allow.

You should not have to calculate the watts of the unit. All the information that you need will be on the nameplate of the unit. It is this information that electricians use to calculate the conductor size and breaker to supply the power to the unit.

It is an acronym standing for Lord's Resistance Army

Check the switches, both the one on the passenger side AND the one on the drivers side. If EITHER has failed or has somehow become disconnected, the window will not work.

Your problem isn't specific. Here is a list of causes. please refer this to identify the problem - http://carcarehow.blogspot.com/2011/10/window-does-not-roll-up.html

It is possible that it is the switch. However, the most common cause of power window failure is motor failure or a broken linkage. It happens most commonly on the driver's side because that is by far the one that is put up and down the most.

You can sometimes get the window up if someone holds the switch while you put one hand on either side of the glass -- inside and outside -- and pull it upward while pressing your hands together.

If you can get the widow up, leave it up until you can afford to have it repaired. Get two or three estimates from companies that specialize in auto window repairs.

Most of the time it's caused by the window binding in the window channels, causing the motor to draw too much juice. Lubricate the window channels with spray silicone

Most likely culprit is corrosion on oen side of the window rocker switch in the door. Rain likely has gotten onto the switch enough times that corrosion resulted in a high resistance on at least one side of the window rocker control switch - the one that you push to raise the windows.

1 part household ammonia -- NO MORE -- to ten parts water.

If one presses and holds the 'unlock' plipper the windows will wind down. I have had this occur a couple of times when I have been working on my other car - the Audi keys were in my trouser pocket and the button must somehow have been pressed and held as I bent over.

I had a similar problem with my Honda Accord coupe - it could hear squeaking sounds whenever I drove over bumpy roads. I stopped by a repair center to get it fixed and the repair man said it wasn't a problem with the window, but a problem with the rubber lining between the door and the car body. He said it usually happens when you get dirt or dust in between or in cold weather when there's a gap between the door and car body.

I bought a spray-type silicon lubricant for about $4 at an auto part shop - mine said it doesn't damage rubber and works well for squeaking windows. Get a cloth or paper towels and spray enough of the lubricant onto it and rub it over the rubber lining on the door and the car body. The cloth should get really dirty the first time, so clean the dirt off the entire lining once and use another cloth to apply the lubricant. You don't want to apply too much so that it trickles down, but still apply it several times constantly spraying lubricant on the cloth so the lining gets pretty shining. I had to apply it several times on the entire lining to make the squeaking go away, but it finally worked and I'm happy that I don't need to hear the annoying sound anymore.

No as long as all the handles are there, they dont test for functionality
