How to Manually Roll Up Power Windows
Power windows have become a standard feature in most modern vehicles, providing convenience and ease of use. However, there may be instances where the power window system fails, or you find yourself in a situation where the power windows are not functioning. In such cases, knowing how to manually roll up power windows can be a lifesaver. This article will guide you through the process of manually rolling up power windows in both manual and power windows equipped vehicles.
First, let’s address manual windows. Manual windows are the traditional type of windows found in older vehicles. To roll up a manual window, follow these steps:
1.
Locate the window crank handle. It is typically located on the doorframe, near the window.
2.
Grasp the crank handle firmly with one hand.
3.
Using your other hand, pull the window down slightly to clear any debris or obstacles that may be preventing the window from rolling up smoothly.
4.
Begin to turn the crank handle clockwise while applying pressure to the window. Continue turning until the window is fully rolled up.
5.
Once the window is fully rolled up, release the pressure and allow the window to settle into place.
Now, let’s move on to power windows. Power windows are the automatic type of windows found in most modern vehicles. To manually roll up a power window, follow these steps:
1.
Locate the power window switch. It is typically located on the door panel, near the window.
2.
Check if the power window switch is in the locked position. If it is, press the lock button to unlock the switch.
3.
Press the up arrow button on the power window switch. This will activate the window motor and begin to roll up the window.
4.
While the window is rolling up, you may need to apply slight pressure to the window to ensure it rolls up smoothly.
5.
Once the window is fully rolled up, release the pressure and allow the window to settle into place.
It’s important to note that if the power window switch is not in the locked position, you may not be able to manually roll up the window. In this case, you may need to reset the power window system or seek professional assistance.
By following these simple steps, you can manually roll up power windows in both manual and power windows equipped vehicles. This knowledge can be invaluable in situations where the power window system fails or you find yourself in a remote location without access to power.
