What should I do when my automatic window won't roll up?

Answer 1

First, check the fuse in your fuse box for power windows with a test light. If the other windows are working properly then it's not the fuse. Next, check the power window switch with a test light, assuring power is going into, as well as out of, the switch. If it is, then you will need to disassemble the door panel and test the power motor with a test light. If it is getting power then you need a new motor. On rare occassions the electric motor will develop a "flat spot" and when it is stopped at that flat spot it will not re-start. If this is the case you can "tap" the motor casing with a hammer freeing it from that spot and it will work again, but this is only a temporary fix.
