If the power window does not respond at all, it could be an electrical issue like a blown fuse, faulty switch, o r damaged wiring. In some cases, a temporary ECU glitch may also cause this issue.

🔧 Possible Causes:

Blown Fuse – A fuse protects the power window circuit, and if it blows, the window will stop working.
Defective Window Switch – The switch may be worn out o r disconnected.
Broken Wiring – The wires inside the door panel can get damaged over time.
Failed Window Motor – If the motor is dead, it won’t move the window.
💡 Solution:

Check the fuse box usually located under the dashboard o r in the engine bay and replace any blown fuses.
Test the window switch by trying to operate another window—if others work, the switch may be faulty.
Inspect the wiring harness in the door panel for damage.
If none of these work, the window motor may need replacement.
