Window Switch
The window switch controls the electric window motors, usually with one-touch operation for fully opening or closing.
What is Window Switch?
The driver’s panel can control all windows and lock out the rear ones. Anti-trap systems reverse the window if they detect an obstacle. After a battery change, windows may need resetting for one-touch. If one-touch stops working, holding the switch up for a few seconds after closing often resets it.
How it works
The switch sends a signal to the window motor or door module, which drives the regulator up or down.
Why it matters for your car
Use the rear window lock to stop children opening windows. Drinks spilled on the switch panel can cause faults.
