Frequently asked questions about electric window motor replacement & repairs
Read our answers to questions about electric window motor replacement costs, symptoms and more.
What does an electric window motor do?
The electric window motor is located inside the door panel and powers the window regulator. This, in turn, physically moves the window up or down as the window switch inside the car is operated.
What does an electric window motor replacement involve?
- The mechanic will inspect the electric window arrangement and the motor.
- The mechanic will carry out checks to determine the fault in the electrical system.
- If necessary, the mechanic will replace the faulty electric window motor.
- The mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
- The mechanic will test the window's operation to ensure everything works correctly.
- If necessary, the mechanic will make adjustments.
Can I do an electric window motor replacement myself?
Unless you are a qualified mechanic with the required skills, training and equipment to do the job, we strongly recommend an electric window motor replacement is only carried out by a professional mechanic. ClickMechanic can help get you a vetted and local mechanic to carry out the work. Just enter your postcode and your car's registration number at the top of this page and select the work needed to get an instant fixed price up front.
How do I know if my power window motor is bad?
- When the window does not open or close when using the switch.
- When the window's movement is unusually slow.
- When opening or closing the window is paired with excessive noise.
How long will an electric window motor replacement take?
An electric window motor replacement usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace an electric window motor?
Over time, due to prolonged use a motor can wear in which case using the windows might be problematic with slow or erratic window movement. Sometimes the electric window motor can fail completely. In many cases though, it might be that the system has blown a fuse. On other occasions it might be that the electric window mechanisms have seized.
An electric window motor failure is not necessarily easy to identify. When the windows do not move and there is no buzz coming from the motor inside the door, it is clear there is an issue with the electrics of the window. It might be that the window switch has failed or that there is a loose or corroded connector. At an inspection a mechanic will establish, step by step, what the fault in the electrical system is before replacing any parts.
How can I extend the lifetime of my electric window motor?
The more strain you put on the window motor, the quicker it will wear out. By keeping the windows free of grit and waiting until ice has melted (or removing it) before operating the window will reduce unwanted resistance.
Can I still drive with a faulty electric window motor?
Driving with a faulty electric window motor is of course not ideal, especially if the window's stuck open, it's best to book a diagnostic inspection and get help from a professional mechanic to diagnose the fault and suggest a fix as soon as possible.
Is a faulty electric window motor an MOT failure?
Windows are not usually checked as part of the MOT, however, if the MOT tester finds that the fault leads to any obstruction of the driver's view, a faulty electric window motor may result in an MOT failure.
Can a window motor be fixed?
It is normally best practice to fit a new window motor (and regulator) if it is broken, this will generally be more cost-effective than trying to fix the motor. Normally specialist tools will be needed to remove the window motor mounting bolts and a parts such as a new motor and regulator (if needed) to get it fixed.
