Modern cars are endowed with a number of devices and devices that can ensure the comfort of the driver and passengers in the cabin. Among the many devices that provide comfort, include an electric window. Often these devices create inconvenience due to their unstable operation or failure. This problem, in particular, is quite common on Lada Priora cars.
A broken window will not allow you to raise or lower the window of the car. Therefore, if this mechanism breaks down, you should immediately think about repairing it.
Because of which the Priory window does not work?
A power window failure can occur due to a malfunction of the following systems:
Gear motor
The power window motor has its own wear resource, if it is exceeded, then the mechanism fails, the motor itself must be replaced.
Electrical circuit
If everything is in order with the motor, and the lifts still do not work, then the cause of the breakdown may lie in the electrical circuit and damage to the wires.
Window lifter block "Priors"
In the safety block of the car there is a component responsible for the windows of the car. If it fails, then the mechanism ceases to function.
Control buttons
The power window control buttons Priora can also cause a malfunction. This is mainly due to the oxidation of the button contacts.
There are also situations when the operation of the Priora windows is quite unstable. For example, they can work only with the ignition on or partially work. It may be that the front ones are functioning normally, but the rear power windows on the Priora do not work. Then, most likely, the problem lies in the electronics of the car.
Breakdown reasons
The Priory power windows break down due to the vehicle being kept in conditions of regular low temperatures, problems with the electronic control unit, failure of the fuses, wear of the motor and other components of the lift, as well as skewing of the glass.
Before performing repairs, it is necessary to diagnose those auto systems in which the cause of the breakdown of this element may be hidden. Diagnostics is best carried out using tools and devices, for example, a tester will allow you to understand whether voltage is being supplied to the window motor.
After identifying the cause of the malfunction, you can proceed with the repair.
Repair of a motor and power window components
One of the main reasons for the breakdown of the Priora window regulator may be a motor breakdown and wear on the cable of the electric window lifter.
You can replace both the cable and the motor. When replacing the motor, you will need to pull the cable, this procedure is quite difficult and takes a lot of time and effort.
The glass lift mechanism can also be purchased complete, along with a motor. That way the design was popularly nicknamed "trapezoid" for its characteristic shape. When acquiring the complete assembly, it remains only to install it instead of the failed one.
Troubleshooting control buttons
A fairly common malfunction is the failure of the glass lift control buttons. Most often, the Priora power window buttons are oxidized, or their contacts begin to recede. To troubleshoot this kind of trouble, you need to clean the contacts of oxide or re-solder the buttons. When re-soldering, the contacts will fit tightly together, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the power window.
Other troubleshooting
Minor breakdowns include the rattling of glass, the noise in the window, the free movement of the glass under mechanical stress (for example, the glass does not rise and fall by the elevator, but the same can be done by hand). Their cause is glass skew, failure of the rollers or cable. When the glass is skewed, it must be adjusted. If the cable broke, then it must be replaced. When the cable jumps off the rollers, it is necessary to pull it back and adjust the car window. The occurrence of noise is a sign that the mechanism is poorly lubricated. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to lubricate all the power window mechanisms as well as the guide glasses well. When the mechanism is slow, it is also worth lubricating or replacing it with a new one. Over time, the speed of lowering and raising the windows decreases due to deterioration of the window motor.
Faults requiring repair in a car service
The reason for the failure of the power window can be not only mechanical, but also electronic malfunctions. These include damage to the central unit of the car’s electronics. When it fails, independent repair of this unit is impossible. Complete diagnostics and troubleshooting in a specialized service center are required.
The thing is that the CBKE has a number of multifunctional wires, which at the same time are responsible for the functioning of the central lock, rotary beacons, electric heating of glasses and mirrors. When you try to eliminate the electronic cause of the breakage of the glass lift, you can only exacerbate the problem.
Summary
The Lada Priora car is reliable and unpretentious. However, the power windows of this model quite often fail. Perhaps the matter lies in the imperfection of the mechanism, perhaps in the harsh operating conditions of the vehicle. These include low and high temperatures, high intensity of use, problems with pulp and paper industry.
If the power window breaks, you need to immediately repair it. Repair work begins with a diagnosis, which is carried out using a number of devices. If diagnosis at home is not possible, then you should contact a car service.
A number of breakdowns can be fixed independently. Such breakdowns include mechanical window lifter failures, for example, a motor breakdown or a cable break. Often the glass lift is unstable due to poorly lubricated surfaces. If the glass lifters work separately, then most likely the problem lies in the electronics. If you encounter this kind of problem, you should contact a specialist. Self-repair of electronic vehicle systems is not possible.
Of course, electric window lifters outperform mechanical ones, mainly due to their practicality. However, electric lifts are much more likely to fail. For their stable operation, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the car manufacturer and regularly conduct technical inspection of the vehicle.
