In detail: vaz 2110 do-it-yourself electric window repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
The problem of faulty power windows, although not critical, is very relevant for many motorists. On a VAZ 2110, repairing a window regulator with your own hands is a simple matter and, with proper skill, will take no more than 20 minutes of your time. At the service station, you will be asked for the service of about 500 rubles. Considering the time required and the relative ease of repair, the benefits are more than obvious.
To repair the glass lifting mechanism of the VAZ 2110, you only need a little theory outlined in the article below, a little practice and a minimum set of locksmith tools:
ratchet handle;
ratchet extension;
end head 10 mm;
cross screwdriver.
The window regulator VAZ 2110 is marked with a cipher according to the car model number and part. By the last two digits, you can determine which door it is intended for: 10 - right, 11 - left. Now it will be quite difficult to confuse them.
In models, starting from 2009, on the VAZ 2110, the window regulator is produced non-separable. Thus, in the event of a cable breakage, the trapezoid cannot be replaced separately from the electric motor. However, a one-piece window regulator is considered more reliable.
If repairing a VAZ 2110 window regulator is impossible, buying a new one will cost you about 1,300 rubles. But do not rush to purchase without diagnosing the malfunction and the electrical circuit. After all, the problem may be in the banal sticking of brushes or freezing of glasses, or perhaps they just need lubrication. But first things first.
On the VAZ 2110, it is advisable to regularly lubricate with silicone or a penetrating lubricant such as WD-40 velvet. Poor glass movement can cause skewing of the window during operation, as well as failure of the electric motor due to overload caused by frictional forces.

Often, the cause of a VAZ window regulator malfunction is directly related to the electric drive. The main problem is the brush mechanism of the collector. Brushes can be skewed or sticky. In this case, it is enough to simply knock on the door in the area of the electric motor.
By the characteristic sounds during the operation of the VAZ 2110 window regulator mechanism, you can fairly accurately diagnose its mechanical malfunctions. The characteristic growl or crackling sound heard during operation indicates problems with the motor gears. And the crunchy sounds hint that the cable at the VAZ window regulator is loose.
The vaz 2110 window regulator circuit includes a control relay, a safety block, a power circuit and a push-button mechanism. In order to localize the malfunction of the power supply circuit, we need to check the presence of voltage at the power supply terminals of the electric motor.
If the glass lifting mechanism does not work at all, then most likely there is a burnout of the electric winding of the drive motor or the control relay. Due to electrical overload, the fuse in the car is also likely to blow out (see the VAZ 2110 window regulator diagram to determine its number). VAZ windows may also not work due to a button malfunction. In this case, the lift functions but behaves incorrectly.
The process of directly disassembling the door and removing the glass lifting mechanism from it will not take more than 10-20 minutes. of your time and is extremely easy to carry out. First, remove the decorative trim of the door.
Before the direct repair of the window regulator, it is necessary to remove the decorative trim of the door, for which it is recommended to adhere to the following sequence of actions:
1. Unscrew the lower door pocket held by three self-tapping screws, take it out of the grooves;
2. If a speaker is attached to the panel - unscrew it too, disconnect the power supply terminal block;
3. The VAZ door handle is attached with two self-tapping screws hidden under the removable cover;
4. Unscrew the locking door latch. Now the plastic decorative trim of the VAZ door is held only by latches around the perimeter, which we consistently undermine.
At this point, the first stage of parsing the door can be considered over.
First, detach the glass mount to the rail. For this we lower it to the required value and unscrew the fastening bolts. Further, it is recommended to raise the glass higher and fix it so that it does not interfere with the further disassembly process.
The window lifter mechanism VAZ is mounted on the metal frame of the door in three places: the rail is held by a pair of bolts in its upper part, as well as in the lower one, the lift itself is directly held by three bolts.
By disconnecting the power plug of the electric motor, you can remove the glass operating mechanism through the hole in the upper part of the door. On this, the short process of dismantling the VAZ 2110 window regulator can be considered completed.

Thus, VAZ windows may not work both for mechanical reasons and due to problems in the electrical circuit. The very process of disassembling lifts and troubleshooting is not very complicated, and therefore it is preferable to repair in a service station.
Today, the domestic “ten” continues to confidently remain in the leading positions among the most popular cars in the country. They have already ceased to be produced, but this does not prevent many people from driving a VAZ 2110.
The car is far from ideal, but it has a lot of positive qualities. One of them is the simplicity of the design, which allows you to perform a whole range of repair work with your own hands.
An example of a successful design that combines good reliability and the possibility of self-repair are power windows.
Window lifters are devices that are used to move glass on windows and hold it in a given position. Today, the VAZ 2110 is available with a fairly diverse glass lifter, which differ not only by the manufacturer, but also by the purpose.
If we take into account the purpose, then the devices can be divided into four types:
For front doors;
For rear doors;
For left doors;
For the right.
It is noteworthy that their design may be different, but they have a lot of common nuances.
Any of the listed power windows includes several main components.
They are installed on the inside of the door frame. Their function is to hold the glass sheet in a given position.
They are fixed inside the door frame in a static position. Play the role of guides for moving the glass up and down
Products made of soft rubber. They provide limitation of glass movements up and down
The design of any window regulator includes two main units - a drive and a lifting mechanism.
As in many other cars, in the case of the VAZ 2110 there are two types of drives.
Electric. A rather complex complex of elements, which consists of a drum or a drive gear, as well as an electric motor with a worm gear built into it. This design allows the glass to be raised and lowered at the touch of a button.
Mechanical. The most simplified design, which includes several parts, gears and handles. To raise the glass in a VAZ 2110 with a power window lifter, you need to turn the handle clockwise.The drive roller takes up the physical effort, so lifting is not difficult.
As for the lifting mechanisms, there are several of them. For the VAZ 2110, the use of various options is provided.
Mechanism type
Peculiarities
Rack and pinion lifting mechanism
It was installed on a VAZ 2107, then switched to a VAZ 2110. The advantages of such a mechanism are its simple repair and operation. But the design does not differ in increased reliability; for effective operation, the rack and pinion device must be lubricated. Design flaws forced the developers to abandon it.
A more advanced system that eliminates the possibility of glass distortion. But the reliability is not the highest. The most attractive version of the cable mechanism is galvanized metal structures. Their cost is 400 rubles. You should also pay attention to Metprom devices. Their actual price is 300 rubles. Standard VAZ cable lifts will cost 250 rubles
Lift linkage
These are the most advanced versions of mechanisms available for the VAZ 2110. Their work is based on the use of hinges. The design ensures quiet operation. However, the mechanism is only available on power windows.
Rack and cable mechanisms are offered complete with electric and mechanical drives, while lever mechanisms are available only with an electric motor.

The need to replace or repair power windows can arise for two main reasons. Namely:
Old gears of the lifting mechanism are worn out, worn out, due to which the device ceases to perform its functions;
There was a break in the cable, which was the reason for the failure of the entire system.
To solve the problems that arise, you will need to go through three or four steps:
Preparatory activities;
Dismantling;
Installation;
Repair.
If you plan to simply replace the mechanisms with new ones, then the repair stage can be skipped.
Although versions with mechanical and electric windows are available for the VAZ 2110, the nuances of the replacement procedure will be identical. Therefore, the instructions below are relevant for both cases.
VIDEO
To begin with, we will talk about the preparatory measures that will allow you to get to the desired mechanism. There is nothing complicated here if you follow the instructions.
Although the front, rear, left and right power windows are structurally different, the principle of working with them during repair or replacement is similar.
First, remove the glass lifter handle. To do this, remove the stopper, which you will find under the lever washer of the handle. With a screwdriver, the latch is pushed to the side, the stopper is removed from the plate. After that, the handle can be easily removed. It can sometimes sit snugly, so grab a second screwdriver and hook the device around the base.
The next in line to dismantle is the armrest handle. You will need a flathead screwdriver that unscrews the caps that cover the pair of mounting screws. They are the ones who hold the armrest handle. Armed with a Phillips screwdriver, the screws are unscrewed, the handle is removed.
Now we turn to the handle of the outside rear-view mirror, plus the handle lining is dismantled.
At the last stage of the preparatory measures, you need to remove the door trim. It is held in place by plastic caps. If they are damaged, you can always buy new ones. Don't forget to remove the storage compartment as well.

The preparation is over, so you can begin to directly dismantle our failed windows.

Lower the glass completely. This will allow you to get to the fasteners that connect the glass sheet to the window lifter. The device is held in place with a pair of bolts. To unscrew them, you need a 10 mm wrench;
Then decide for yourself what is more convenient for you to do. You can fix the glass with tape and continue the repair. Alternatively, you can remove the glass completely.The second option is not the most successful, since it will require more effort and time;
Remove the socket from the slot;
Using an 8 mm head, the fastening nuts are unscrewed, which gives you the opportunity to reach the damaged window regulator.
The device has been dismantled, so we can talk about several of the most important nuances of re-installing the power windows.
Replace the damaged element with a new one, after which the assembly is carried out strictly in the reverse order.
If at the previous stage you decided to completely remove the glass, and not fix it with tape, then be sure to adjust its position during installation. This is done by displacing the bolts in the mounting holes.
In the process of dismantling work, holders - caps often break or suffer. Therefore, before starting the repair, we advise you to purchase a set of new holders so that you do not run to stores in the middle of the work process.
When installing the handle of your window regulator, make sure it fits snugly in its rightful place. If you cannot fit the handle tightly, use several windings of electrical tape. This should help.
It is not possible to repair power windows in all cases. Advantageously, these glass lifting devices can be repaired in the event of obvious mechanical fractures of the elements.
But still, we can give a few useful tips on restoring the functionality of the window regulator without replacing it.
If the electric window motor fails, then the blades or the winding are most likely to blame. To make sure of this and fix the damage, it is necessary to remove the motor, disassemble it and clean the outer and inner surfaces.
It is recommended to use a lint-free cloth for cleaning. The cloth is soaked in gasoline, alcohol or a special cleaning agent. When buying the latter, you can use it for a long time, the efficiency is higher compared to gasoline.
After cleaning and drying the parts, it is recommended to lubricate the moving elements with lubricant so that the mechanisms function longer.
If the cable flew off the lifting mechanism, you will have to dismantle it, remove the electric motor or unwind the cable if it is mechanical. Then the cable is pulled back into the grooves and the assembly is reassembled.
In the event of a malfunction in the mechanism, and in the electrical circuit of the device, it is necessary to study this circuit, determine the direction of the wires, and then ring them. This is the most effective way to check for electrical failures.
Lifting device diagram
Repair in most cases gives only a temporary result, so soon you will still have to perform a full replacement. This is due to the fact that each part has its own service life, degree of wear. When they are reached, the window regulator stops working.
Replacing or repairing power windows of a mechanical or electrical type cannot be called complex activities. It is quite possible to cope with such tasks with your own hands.
A car power window regulator fails quite rarely. It delivers more inconvenience if the door glass is jammed in the lowered state. Of course, in such situations, an urgent replacement of the VAZ 2110 power window or repair of the lifting mechanism will be required. What options are offered today in order for the replacement of the power window in the VAZ 2110 to be successful?
Replacing the power window vaz 2110
Today, many car owners are trying to save money on repairs, especially for owners of VAZ cars. Instead of going to an authorized dealer, they do the repair themselves. In this case, it is recommended to buy new power windows from specialized stores.
Note! Since single installation kits for front-wheel drive VAZs have appeared on store shelves, it is much easier to carry out repairs. Compared to the standard "sales" kit, this kit contains only one geared motor, which, in fact, is needed to change a faulty unit.
In the production of "nine" or "ten", the plant did not complete them with power windows, this could be allowed only in the most rare cases. Before proceeding to the process called replacing the power window with a VAZ 2110 or installing power windows, you need to choose them wisely. Many car enthusiasts most often give preference to such well-known companies as "Granat" and "Berkut". There are three types of such parts:
the cheapest option are cable windows. This is perhaps the oldest glass-raising and lowering method, and it has many disadvantages. First, the glass moves very slowly. In winter, the glass can freeze, as a result of which the cable breaks and the drive fails;
as for the rack and pinion windows, they also often break, especially when the glass freezes. In this case, you need to lubricate the mechanism more often so that it does not jam;
the most expensive and best option are articulated-lever windows. In this case, the glasses move relatively quickly, no noise is heard during the movement, such mechanisms practically do not fail, even if the glass is frozen.
Note! It is best to buy window regulators, which are equipped not only with an electric motor, but also with wiring, buttons, plugs, necessary fasteners and rubber cuffs. The latter elements are necessary when pulling the wiring into the door from the rack.

Now we will consider directly the process of installing power windows in stages:
The battery is powered off first. In some situations, this cannot be done, so you have to disconnect the cigarette lighter power circuits, instrument panel, backlight and buttons. It is to these circuits that you will need to connect the side window power window wiring.

Next, you need to carefully remove the interior trim.
The glass must be securely fixed so that it does not fall when the window lifter mechanism is removed. For these purposes, you can use scotch tape.
The manual window lifter mechanism is slowly removed. This is done in this way:
unscrew the fastening bolts of the glass and the window regulator mechanism;
find a guide mechanism, which is fixed with four nuts;
first unscrew the lower nut, then two middle and upper nuts;
now they unscrew the three nuts securing the window regulator, they can be seen in the place where the rotating handle is located;

the window regulator mechanism of the vases is carefully removed, if this is difficult due to the upper mount, you need to press on it with a screwdriver and pull.
At this stage, dismantling is over, now you need to install a new purchased power window. The process is carried out in this way:
the mechanism is placed inside the door, it is pushed into the largest gap;
it is fixed with two pins, they must be inserted into those gaps where the two middle nuts were fixed, fixing the guide of the old window regulator. The new mechanism is mounted with nuts.

Note. The mountings that are on the lever window system and on the glass itself are combined. To carry out such a process, you need to supply power to the contacts of the drive motor, for example, from a battery. When the fasteners are aligned, they need to be fixed using the bolts that are included in the electric drive kit.
Since friction is implied during operation, all surfaces must be well lubricated.
Replacing power windows for a vaz 2110
At the final stage, it remains only to connect the power window to the car's electrical system. This can be done either on your own or with the assistance of an experienced electrician who will do everything in just five minutes.
Note! In the latter case, you can save time and prevent problems that can arise with incorrect connection steps.
Let's pay attention to the rack-and-pinion power windows, which are most often installed on domestic cars. How this is done can be seen in video reviews posted on the net. Three well-known manufacturers produce mechanisms equipped with a cable wire, which includes springs to compensate for the cable tension. Visually, these designs are the same, but despite this they use different geared motors.
VIDEO
In fact, this is not surprising, since there is already a metal rack-and-pinion mechanism, which is distinguished by high reliability, low noise and relatively low power consumption. An imported gear motor is installed on the Granat. The main feature of this unit is its long service life. In any case, installing the lift with your own hands will be relevant in our difficult time. You should not be afraid of mistakes - the instructions will tell you how to do everything.
Windows of the tenth family VAZ, unfortunately, cannot boast of their reliability. Most often, if any of its elements fail, we replace the part with a new one, but in most cases the part can be repaired. Let's figure out how difficult an independent window lifter repair .
You have to resort to repairing power windows for various reasons, and most often this reason is the electric motor. Due to the fact that the engine housing is not sealed, moisture easily gets into it, and as a result, rust appears.
Hello everyone! My name is Mikhail, now I'll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange a dvenashka for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I was wildly annoyed by the breakdowns of the two, like nothing serious broke down, but the little things, damn it, so many things that really started to enrage. Here the idea was born that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the tayet Camry of the tenths.
Repair of ESP VAZ of the tenth family begins with disassembling the door and dismantling the window regulator (instructions). It is not necessary to disassemble the window regulator inside the door, it is more convenient and correct to dismantle it as a complete assembly.
1. Unscrew the fastening of the gear motor cover (key “5.5”); 2. Remove the cover; 3. Dismantle the driven gear; 4. Unscrew the screws securing the electric motor to the gearbox housing (Phillips screwdriver).
5. Disconnect the electric motor wires from the block (mark them out so as not to confuse them during assembly);

Have you had to repair windows?
I repaired the window regulator, the problem was ..
At the moment, the model of a domestic car, VAZ-2110, still retains its leading position in the market, remaining popular and in demand.
This car is practical, has good dynamics and a cozy, quite comfortable interior atmosphere.But this pretty car has a number of technical flaws, which, if you do not know how to eliminate them yourself, can negate all the advantages of the model.
To one of the disadvantages of dozens are quickly failing power windows.
It would seem such a simple detail, but when it becomes inoperative, it destroys the entire ideal pyramid of comfort, because how can you ride in a stifling heat if you cannot open the window normally?
Today we will talk about how you can replace the windows on the VAZ-2110 with your own hands, and possibly repair it. So let's go.
A window lifter is a device used to move a window glass and to hold it in the desired point. At present, the range of power windows is quite wide, it includes not only many brands, but also a difference in targeting:
front doors
rear doors
left doors
right doors.
Moreover, the design for each device will be different. But in each of the listed cases there are common points, each window regulator consists of:
grooves installed on the inside of the door frame, the purpose of which is to hold the glass sheet at a certain point
"Rails", which are fixed in the door body statically and act as guides for the movement of glass
a sealant, a damper made of soft rubber, limiting the movement of the glass sheet up and down.
Mechanical - consists of a simple set of parts, a pair of gears and a handle. In order to set the glass sheet in motion, you need to turn the handle clockwise (if you need to raise the glass) or counterclockwise (if you need to lower it). Physical efforts are transferred to the drive roller, that's the whole principle of the mechanical device.
Electric is a more complex set of parts. An electric window regulator consists of a drum or gear of a drive and an electric motor, with a built-in worm-type gearbox.
According to the lifting mechanism, power windows are divided into several types. Moreover, in cars of AvtoVAZ there are different options for the design of window regulators.
So, the well-known seven is equipped with a rack-and-pinion type of device, by the way, on the “ten”, rack-and-pinion windows are also installed.
This option is good because it is easy to repair, easy to operate, but a serious disadvantage of the design is its unreliability. In addition, the rack and pinion type of device needs to be lubricated.
A more advanced design is the cable type, presented in the tenth model of the VAZ.
Here, a positive point is the fact that the possibility of skewing the glass is completely excluded. But, like rack and pinion, cable mechanisms are also unreliable.
Although the price for them is not so high, and a good reputation is used by windows made of galvanized metal, which cost about 400 rubles, and Metprom devices, which cost 300 rubles.
A standard cable window regulator costs less than 250 rubles.
The mechanisms of the new generation are lever mechanisms that work by means of hinges.
Their advantage lies in the absolute absence of noise, but this type of device works only in conjunction with an electric motor, while the first two can be presented in a mechanical version.
On the tenth model, two types of windows are installed: simpler modifications of past years come with mechanics, and modifications of later years of production - with electric windows.
But since the owners of the old ten are more common among motorists, then we will talk about how to independently replace the mechanical window regulator, but first we will figure out the most common window regulator malfunctions characteristic of the VAZ-2110.
By the way, the electric window regulator changes in the same way, all the grooves and fasteners they have are similar and will fit easily.
What happens most often in the top ten is the grinding of the hoist gear, which makes the device inoperative.
The second reason is a break in the cable, which causes a violation of the entire system.
Problems are solved by dismantling the device and replacing defective parts, or by completely replacing the window regulator, which will be a more correct and simple option. Now let's get to work.
As mentioned above, the design of the front, rear, right, left power windows is different, but the principle of operation is similar.
VIDEO
To dismantle, you need to arm yourself with two screwdrivers: cross and flat, as well as two keys, 8 and 10.
First of all, we remove the window regulator handle, for which you will first have to pull out the stopper located under the lever washer of this very handle. Using a screwdriver, move the latch aside, removing the stopper from the plate. Now you can remove the handle too. If the handle is too tightly seated in the seat, then you can help it with two screwdrivers, picking it up on the base.
Remove the armrest handle. Use a flat screwdriver to unscrew the plugs that hide the two screws that hold the handle, and with a cross-head screwdriver, unscrew the screws themselves.
The handle of the outside rear-view mirror is removed, as well as the lining of the handle.
The door trim is removed carefully, slowly, along with the storage compartment.
We lower the glass to gain access to the fasteners connecting the device to the glass sheet. The device is supported by two bolts, which are unscrewed with a 10 key.
Now you can either completely remove the glass, or, fixing the glass with tape, continue working, and the second option is more expedient.
Remove the socket from the slot.
Unscrew the nuts with a head of 8 and take out the window regulator.
VIDEO
Now we change the defective unit to a new one and carry out the assembly work in the reverse order. But if the glass is removed completely, it is necessary afterwards to carefully adjust its position by displacing the bolts in the holes of the fasteners.
It should also be borne in mind that during dismantling, the holders, which are also called pistons, may suffer, so it is better to buy a set of new ones just in case, in order to avoid trouble.
When installing the lift handle, make sure it is seated snugly enough. If this does not work out, then it is worth wrapping it with electrical tape.
Sometimes it turns out that there is no way to purchase a new device, if the cable is tangled, or the electric motor has failed, then there is always the opportunity to repair it all with your own hands. Only an obvious mechanical fracture of any part is not repaired.
If the electric motor fails, most likely your brushes or winding are just clogged, it is enough to remove the motor, disassemble and clean it with a neatly alcohol-coated cloth or gasoline, you can buy special tools (enough more than once). It is advisable to lubricate all mechanisms when disassembling.
When the cable flies off the mechanism, you should remove the entire mechanism, again remove the electric motor or unwind the cable itself if you have a mechanical cable, carefully pull the cable into place (grooves) and install it back.
Often the malfunction does not happen in the window regulator itself, having studied the diagram below, you will understand which wires go where, by ringing them, you can find the true cause.
I would like to add that repairs, as a rule, do not help for long, if it happens that your window regulator has failed, it is better to replace it, because all the parts have their wear and tear and are unlikely to serve you for a long time, but there are exceptions.
Replacing the VAZ-2110 window lifter is carried out in half an hour, and belongs to the category of simple auto mechanic work, which can be done independently.
Therefore, it is better to spend some time in the garage than to spend a lot of money at the auto shop. Moreover, every time, overcoming difficulties and doing a new job for yourself, you feel like a real man.And it’s worth a little work.
Comfort in the car is provided not only by all kinds of systems, which are becoming more and more, but also by fairly simple mechanisms, such as power windows. After all, any budget model that does not provide air conditioning, navigation, and the audio system consists of only a few standard speakers, is necessarily equipped with mechanisms for raising and lowering side windows.
On cars, electric and mechanical power windows have become widespread. In the former, the glass is raised and lowered by an electric motor, which ensures ease of use and ease of control. The driver or passenger just needs to press the appropriate button to move the side glass down or up.
In power windows, the driver ensures the movement of the glass using a special gearbox, which is manually driven into rotation. That is, to lower or raise the glass, it is necessary to rotate the handle installed on the door. Windows with this type of drive are less convenient to use, moreover, they are practically superseded by electric ones.
Window lifters are of several types, differing in design:
Moreover, these differences relate to the actuators of the lifts, that is, with the help of which the lifting and lowering is performed. The second component is the drive mechanism.
To consider possible breakdowns of the power windows, let's look at their design.
Let's start with the drive mechanism, as already noted, it can be of two types - mechanical (aka manual) and electrical.
Mechanical is a small gear reducer. A cable actuator is usually used with this type of drive. Therefore, such a gearbox consists of two gears that are meshed with each other. The pinion gear is small in size, and it is it that the driver rotates by means of the handle mounted on the door. The driven one is much larger in size, it is a drum for winding the cable. Due to the different sizes of these gears, a relative ease of opening and closing the glass is achieved.
In the electric drive, a gearbox is also used, but already of the "worm-gear" type. There is a worm on the shaft of the electric motor, which is meshed with a gear. The drive motor itself is of a reversible type, that is, when the polarity is changed, its rotation side changes, which allows the use of just one element to both lower and raise the glass. Such a drive is used with all types of actuators.
- window handle; 2 - handle lining; 3 - power window handle socket; 4 - window regulator mechanism; 5 - upper rollers; 6 - screws for fastening the pressure plates; 7 - pressure plates; 8 - lowering glass brackets; 9 - lowering glass; 10 - cable; 11 - lower roller; 12 - bolt; 13 - tension roller
Now, with regard to the executive mechanisms. The cable type can be used with both types of drives. Moreover, for mechanical and electrical mechanisms, their design is different, and significantly.
We will consider the design of a mechanical drive and a cable actuator using the VAZ-2107 as an example. In addition to the gearbox, it includes 4 rollers between which the cable moves, with ends fixed on the drum. One of the rollers is tensioning and ensures the proper tension of the cable for the entire period of operation, since in the process it is stretched.
Two rollers are upper and they are connected by means of tension plates with glass brackets. Because of this, when lowering or lifting, the rollers move with the glass. The last roller is the lower one, it is fixed and it is fixed on the door.
A cable is laid between these rollers in a special way. Moreover, it is not looped back.When lifting or lowering, the end on one side of it is unwound from the drum of the gearbox, and the other is wound. Thanks to this, it is possible to move the upper rollers, and with them the side glass.
In an electric drive, the cable actuator has a different design. It includes a guide at the ends of which rollers are installed. The electric motor with a gearbox is placed slightly to the side of this guide. The drive cable is laid between the guide rollers and goes to the gearbox drum, where it is fixed.
In the area between the guide rollers, a slider is attached to the cable, which in turn is connected to the glass. When the electric motor is turned on, one side of the cable begins to wind on the drum, and the other to unwind. Due to this, the cable moves between the rollers, and with it the slide with the glass.
The linkage actuator works in a different way. There is a lever, at one end of which a semicircular toothed sector is made, connected to the driven gear of the reducer. Its other end is connected to a strip on which the glass is planted. The lever from the sector side by means of a bracket is connected to a fixed plate fixed to the door.
There are actuators that include two levers in the design, and the second plays the role of an auxiliary one.
The third type of actuator is rack and pinion, while there are several types of it. One of these mechanisms has a fixed guide with a toothed sector along its entire length. This sector meshes with the gear of the reducer. In this design, the motor with a gearbox is movable and they are connected to the glass. That is, when turned on, the motor with a gearbox and glass begin to move relative to the rail.

Also, the design of the power windows includes a control mechanism, which is the usual buttons through which the electric motors are powered from the on-board network of the car.
If, in general, we consider the device for lifting the side windows, then in the cable type with a mechanical drive there are very few components that can fail. The first of these is the cable itself. Over time, it stretches, from the effects of corrosion, its threads can break, which will lead to wedging, or it can break altogether. Excessive forces can damage the gearbox itself.
But in general, such a mechanism is quite reliable, it rarely breaks down and for its maintenance it is enough to coat all its elements just once a year.
VIDEO
But problems with power windows arise more often. At the same time, the actuators themselves are very reliable and break down infrequently. Much more often, malfunctions occur due to damage to the guides.
As for the electrical part, it is she who most often becomes the cause of inoperative lifts.
The most common problems are:
Blown fuse or main power window control unit;
Broken or damaged wiring;
Oxidation of contacts on control keys;
Malfunction of the electric motor;
It is in this sequence that the circuit is checked to identify a malfunction. That is, if the power windows do not work at all, then the reason usually lies in the lack of power, therefore, the problem must be looked for in the fuse or control unit.
If a specific lift does not function, then first the circuit is checked up to the control keys, then the keys themselves, then the wiring to the engine and the electric motor itself.
