Why does my power window roll down but not up?
When you’re cranking the window handle and the window doesn’t roll up or down, either the crank gears are worn out or the regulator is off its track.

Why does my car window fall down when I roll up?

Why does my power window go up and down but not auto?

Why does my power window roll up slower than normal?
Power window systems are fine-tuned for a precise speed, not only for convenience, but to ensure the window does not break as it’s rolled up or down. When the motor begins to fail, or if there is an electrical problem with the regulator assembly, it can cause the window to roll up slower or faster than it should.
Why are my car windows only working part of the time?
Some vehicles have a slew of power options that send signals to the computer from the switch. Sometimes it’s just the computer that’s faulty, intermittently sending signals to your motor and leaving your windows only working part of the time.
