Under these buttons there are some pretty ingenious systems. Ingenious, yet sometimes defective! Because it's a problem we've all known, on a Citroen Survolt or any automobile. However, before changing the mechanism, you just need to know where the problem comes from. A concern of false contact? The gears seized? We will try to answer all the questions below.
Citroen Survolt: a window goes down but does not go up, or the reverse
Before we change the part, let's just understand how this device works. When you press, or raise the switch on your window, there are two switches in practice . The electrical signal only passes when you activate it. It is therefore likely that the problem arose from a bad contact. Remove the block with the help of a flat screwdriver, and check the electrical wiring at their beginning and at their end. If the problem does not come from a bad contact, in this case it is the window regulator motor of your Citroen Survolt that is the cause. Gears may also be in poor condition. Do not hesitate to try to correct the problem, but in general you will have to change the complete window regulator.
Citroen Survolt: One window does not work at all
It is rare that the problem arises from the button, since both connections or cables would have to be faulty. However, you can check if you want to be sure. Therefore, the problem may come from the mechanics of the window regulator of the Citroen Survolt. The latter may come from engine window regulator, or a damaged gear. Remove the door trim to examine the interior. Operate the window to be able to discern if the engine is working, and try to understand the source of the problem. If ever gears jam, do not hesitate to clean and lubricate them. If nothing ever happens, you will probably have to replace the entire window regulator system.
Citroen Survolt: Electric window blocked
A window of your Citroen Survolt is stuck. You try to reassemble it by actuating the switch or by hand, nothing happens; it is blocked. This problem can come from the motor of the window regulator, but in general it will be conceivable to wind it up by hand. It is therefore much more plausible that the glass has come out of its rail . By shifting, when you raise the window, it hangs on one side. In this situation, there is no point in forcing anything. We will have to open the door and go see what is blocking inside. If ever the window guides turn out to be broken, you will probably have to change them.
Conclusion:
Basically, a problem with the window on a Citroen Survolt can result from an electrical problem, from the window regulator system, or from the rails which guide it. We invite you to leave a comment if your problem is not mentioned in our text. Hope this file has helped you, enjoy the road!
