We will try to answer all the questions below.window-lift-problem-Kia-Sorento

Kia Sorento: a window goes down but does not go up, or vice versa

Before replacing the component, let's quickly study how it works. When you push in or lift the switch from your window, there are two switches in reality . The electrical signal only flows when you activate it. It is therefore conceivable that the malfunction comes from a false contact. Remove the block with a flat screwdriver, then observe the cables as they leave when they arrive. If the problem does not come from an electrical fault, in this situation it is the window regulator motor of your Kia Sorento that is involved. It is also possible that the gears are in poor condition. It is possible to try to troubleshoot the malfunction, but generally it will be necessary to change the complete window regulator.

Kia Sorento: One window doesn't work at all

It is rather exceptional that the problem comes from the switch, since it would be necessary that the two switches or cables are faulty. You can however check if you want to be sure. Therefore, the problem will surely come from the window regulator mechanics of your Kia Sorento. It is possible that the latter comes from engine window lift, or a defective gear. Remove the door trim to check inside. Activate the window to see if the engine is running, and find out the cause of the problem. If gears jam, it is possible to dust and lubricate them. If nothing happens, you will probably have to replace the entire window regulator mechanism.

Kia Sorento: Electric window blocked

A window of this Kia Sorento is stuck. You try to wind it up by pressing the switch or by hand, nothing happens, it remains blocked. This problem can come from the motor of your window regulator, but generally it will be possible to reassemble it by hand. It is therefore much more likely that the window has come out of its rail . When moving, as soon as you mount the window, it comes up against one side. In this case, there is no point in forcing anything. You have to open the door and go see what is blocking it. If the window guides are damaged, you will probably need to replace them.

Conclusion:

Basically, a glass problem on your Kia Sorento can result from a problem related to a false contact, the mechanism of your window regulator, or the rails that hold it.
