If you’ve ever found yourself waiting impatiently for your car’s power windows to roll up or down, you know how frustrating it can be when they move at a snail’s pace. There are a few different reasons why your power windows might be slow, and some are easier to fix than others. Here are a few potential culprits:
Dirty or worn window tracks: If the tracks that the windows sit in are dirty or damaged, the windows may have a hard time moving. Cleaning the tracks with a cloth or a toothbrush and some window cleaner can help. If the tracks are visibly worn, they may need to be replaced.
Failed window motor: The motor is what powers the movement of the window, so if it’s not working properly, the window will move slowly or not at all. If you suspect the motor is the issue, it will need to be replaced.
Faulty window switch: The switch that controls the movement of the window might be the problem. If the switch is damaged or not making proper contact, it can cause the window to move slowly or erratically. Replacing the switch should fix the issue.
Low battery or alternator problems: If your car’s battery is weak or the alternator is failing, it can cause all sorts of electrical issues, including slow-moving power windows. If you suspect a problem with your battery or alternator, you’ll need to have it checked and possibly replaced.
While slow power windows can be annoying, there are a few things you can try before taking your car to a mechanic. Start by cleaning the tracks and trying a different window switch to see if that fixes the problem. If those don’t work, it’s probably time to have a mechanic take a look.
