Under these switches there are rather ingenious mechanisms. Ingenious, however often non-functional! Because it remains a malfunction that we have all seen before, on a Smart Crossblade or another car. However before changing your system, you must know correctly what caused the malfunction. Contact malfunction? Gears seized? We will try to answer all of your questions in this article.
Smart Crossblade: a window goes down but does not go up, or vice versa
Before changing the element, let's quickly see how this device works. When you press, or push up the button of the famous window, there are two switches in reality . The electrical connection flows just when it is activated. It is therefore conceivable that the malfunction is due to an electrical fault. Remove the block with a flat screwdriver, and inspect the electrical wiring at their start and end. If the malfunction is not due to a bad electrical connection, in this situation it is the window regulator motor of your Smart Crossblade that does not work. It is also possible that gears are damaged. Do not hesitate to try to repair the malfunction, but usually it will be necessary to replace the complete window regulator.
Smart Crossblade: One window does not work at all
It is rare that the malfunction comes from the button, since it would be necessary that two switches or cables are faulty. However, you will be able to control whether you want to be sure. In this situation, the malfunction will come from the window regulator mechanics of the Smart Crossblade. It may be that it comes from engine window lifter, or a faulty gear. Remove the door covers to see inside. Operate the window to discern if the engine is running, and try to understand the cause of the malfunction. If gears jam, do not hesitate to clean and lubricate them. If nothing happens, it is probably necessary to replace the entire window regulator mechanism.
Smart Crossblade: Electric window blocked
A glass of your Smart Crossblade is stuck. You try to reassemble it by pressing the button or by hand, nothing to do it is blocked. This malfunction can come from the window regulator motor, but usually it will be possible to wind it by hand. It is therefore more plausible that the glass came out of its rail . By off-center, as soon as you mount the window, it comes up against the rail. In this case, there is no point in forcing anything. It is necessary to open the door and check what gets stuck in it. If the window guides are found to be broken, they may need to be changed.
Conclusion:
Basically, a window malfunction on your Smart Crossblade could come from an electrical malfunction, from the window lifter mechanism, or from the rails that guide it. You can write a comment if your dysfunction does not appear in our text. Hoping that this text has served you something, good ride!
