I thought this may save someone some money.
I have a Nisan car for normal journeys but during the recent cold spell I didn’t get out much and the car was left standing.
I have had this car for about ten years.
When the weather changed I decided to do some shopping and as I was leaving home I wound down the drivers side window, but when I came to wind it back up again it wouldn’t do it. I tried pushing it up with my wife lifting the switch up but still no success.
I was about to start to take the side panel of the door off when it flashed threw my head that the battery may be low on charge. But how could that be when the engine started ok? Any way for the sake of putting a battery charger on to get the battery up to tip top condition, I thought that was easier than taking the panel off.
Low and behold after 24 hours charging the battery up the window does now wind down and up again and has been ok for ten days now.
I can’t explain it, but there it is if you have the same problem try charging your battery up.
Electric windows are a big user of power; just check out the fusing.
Best off raising/lowering with the car running.
I would say Alan, that your issue does indicate that the mechs and runners probably need some attention as well to take pressure off and save battery and cable stress.
