Power Windows Not Working in Hillsboro, KS
The short answer
When a power window stops working, one dead window usually means a switch, motor or regulator, while all of them at once usually means a fuse, lock button or wiring.
It always seems to happen at the drive-through in Hillsboro, or with the window all the way down and a thunderstorm rolling in over the wheat. Listen when you press the switch, because a hum, a click or silence each mean something different. Then bring it in, or we will come and get it.

We find the failed part first. A switch, a motor and a regulator are three different repairs, and we test before we order anything.
We look after the glass. We handle it carefully and check its tracks and seals, since a window that binds will wear out a new motor quickly.
We check the door wiring. A broken wire in the door hinge can look like a dead motor, and it is often a cheaper fix.
If the glass itself is damaged, we can replace it too. Glass is one of the things we do best, so you do not need a second shop.

Can I keep driving?
Yes, as long as the window is closed or you can keep the weather out.
A stuck window will not affect how the car drives, but a window stuck open lets in rain and dust and leaves the vehicle easy to get into. If it is stuck down, cover it before bad weather and park somewhere sheltered. If the glass has dropped inside the door, avoid slamming it, because the glass can break.
Stop driving and call us if
- The glass is loose, rattling or has dropped inside the door
- The glass is cracked or shattered
- You smell burning or the switch gets hot
- A fuse keeps blowing when you use the window

Questions about power windows that stopped working
Why did all my power windows stop at once?
When every window quits together, it is rarely the motors. The usual causes are a blown fuse, a failed relay, the lock button or the main switch on the driver's door. That is often a quicker and cheaper fix.
My window is stuck down. Can I get it up myself?
Sometimes it will go up if you hold the switch while someone gently helps the glass, but do not force it. If that does not work, cover the opening with plastic and painter's tape, which will not pull off the paint. Then text us and we will help.
Do you repair power windows or just replace glass?
We do both. We repair motors, regulators, switches and door wiring, and if the glass is cracked or broken we can replace it at the same visit.
