Behind these buttons you can find relatively ingenious mechanisms. Ingenious, but occasionally defective! Because it remains a malfunction that we all have already had, on a Kia Pride or any automobile. But before changing the device, it will be necessary to understand where the problem originated. An electrical fault concern? Gears stuck? We will try to answer all your questions below.
Kia Pride: a window goes down but does not go up, or vice versa
Before changing the part, let's just study how this device works. When you push or lift the button on your window, there are two switches in practice . The electrical signal passes just when activated. It is therefore possible that the malfunction comes from a false contact. Remove the part using a flat screwdriver, and inspect the electrical wiring at their beginning and at their end. If the problem does not come from a poor electrical connection, in this situation it is the window regulator motor of your Kia Pride that is involved. It is also possible that gears are found to be worn. You can try to troubleshoot the malfunction, but often you will need to replace the entire window regulator.
Kia Pride: One window doesn't work at all
It's rare that the problem comes from the button, because two connections or cables should be faulty. You can however check if you want to be sure. In this case, the concern will certainly come from the window regulator mechanism of your Kia Pride. It is possible that the latter comes from engine window lift, or a defective gear. Remove the door trim to examine the interior. Activate the window to discern if the engine is running, and find out the cause of the problem. When gears jam, do not hesitate to clean and lubricate them. When nothing happens, you will probably have to change the entire window mechanism.
