Power Window Repair Available at Capitol Nissan in Salem, OR

August 15th, 2024

Gone are the days when we had to crank a handle to move our windows up or down. Now we can push a button to breathe fresh air or to avoid the rain. But then that moment hits, and the button seems stuck, the window makes an unexpected sound, or the gears don't seem to be responding. No matter if it's up or down, when your power window stops working, it's never at a good time. There are reasons why your power windows stop working and below, we'll go through those causes and how our expert technicians at Capitol Nissan can help!

Self-Help Solutions That Might Save You a Service Trip

Sticking Window Glass: If you can hear the motor and gears turning, you know it's not an electric issue, so it could be an issue with the window track. Some silicone lubrication could resolve this without further hassle. If that doesn't solve your problem, keep reading below.

Blown Fuse: If you don't hear any noise while using your button to operate the window, it's possible that you're dealing with a blown fuse. Use your owner's manual to locate your fuse box. If any are blown, replacing them should resolve the issue.

Escalated Issues That Need Expert Service, Available at Capitol Nissan

Bad Window Switch: Window switches suffer a lot of abuse over time, and physical wear and tear can lead to the button breaking down. Without the initial command to operate all the motors and gears located in the door, the window won't function. At Capitol Nissan in Salem, Oregon, we offer genuine OEM parts for original configuration compatibility, installed by our experienced certified technicians.

Electrical Problems: There are electrical cables connecting all the buttons, gears, and motors together, and if ever they have an issue, your window will malfunction. From sudden, worrying sounds to intermittent mobility, the only solution to this problem is to have our factory-trained technicians open up the door panel to discover the component causing the issue, and resolve it in an efficient manner.

Out of Order Regulator Arm or Motor: Aside from the wires connecting the operational mechanics, there are the mechanics itself that lay within the door panel. Whether it is a burnt-out motor or disconnected regulator arm, these could also contribute to a sticking window or clucking sounds, and would require a technician to find, identify, and resolve the problem.
