Power windows or electric windows are automobile windows that can be raised and lowered by pressing a button or switch, as opposed to using a crank handle. Power windows are usually inoperable when the car is not running. This is primarily a security feature. It would be a simple thing to allow electric power windows to be operable when the ignition is turned off, however it would also make the car much easier to steal. Some systems offer the compromise of leaving power applied to the windows until a passenger door is opened at which time the window power is removed.
Hydraulic drive systems could lower the windows at rest since pressure from the hydraulic system was merely released to lower the window. Raising the windows required an electrically operated pump to operate and introduce pressure at the appropriate cylinder. These systems also required pressure lines to each cylinder (in the doors, as well as on certain cars, to the power seat and a power-operated convertible top). Because of the complexity, the system could also leak fluid.
Hydraulic drive systems could lower the windows when stationary because the hydraulic system's pressure was simply released to lower the window. Raising the windows necessitated the use of an electrically powered pump to introduce pressure into the proper cylinder. These systems also necessitated the installation of pressure lines to each cylinder (in the doors, as well as on certain cars, to the power seat and a power-operated convertible top). Because of the system's complexity, liquids could leak.
It is critical to keep window motors and switches in good working order because they are quite useful in regular driving. Allowing you to automatically open and close your vehicle's windows, they not only allow you to receive some fresh air inside your vehicle whenever you choose but also protect you from the rain in case of bad weather. Because the window switch's primary function is to activate the motor and allow the windows to be pushed up or pulled down, you should take care to ensure the proper working of both the window switch and the motor.
