With advances in technology, a simple touch of a button is all it takes to open and close the windows of your vehicle. When any of the components in the power system fail your windows may stay closed or opened, no matter how many times you press that button. Luckily, you can have a skilled technician diagnose and repair your power window system right away.

Power Window Diagnostic Procedures

Technicians must go through the electrical system to find the cause of your power window failure. They may use a wiring diagram and electronic testing equipment to identify the issue. Common failure points in the power window system include the switch, motor, and wiring. Your technician may need to chase down wiring problems through the power and ground circuits to correctly identify the culprit. Upon sourcing the problem, technicians write up a diagnostic report and suggested repair procedure for your vehicle.

The power window service does not usually take a lot of time once technicians track down the main problem. Unfortunately, sometimes replacing one part will trigger the failure of another, causing technicians to have to repeat the diagnostic process. Your technician will always strive to fully rectify your power window problems before sending you home in your vehicle.
