Do you need a technician for a car door motor replacement? Door motors power the mechanism that allows you to open and close your windows with ease. They are simple machines that can last for many years, but may eventually fail with regular use.

Residents of Apollo, PA, and the surrounding areas rely on Hilltop Auto Glass when it comes to fast and reliable door motor replacement. They also specialize in auto glass services such as windshield repair and replacement. Here, they list four signs that may indicate your car door’s motor needs a replacement:

  • Works Irregularly: An obvious sign of a failing door motor is when it’s starting to have a mind of its own. For example, if it doesn’t open or close the windows when you press the remote or doesn’t follow the button command at all. Another sign could be if the windows close very slowly or stop working altogether.

If the window doesn’t work and you hear noise coming from the motor, have a professional look at it. Its scissor linkage or plastic chain might be cracked, jammed, or broken.

  • Blown Fuse: An aging door motor or issues with the window channels can pop a fuse. If the fuse is blown, pushing a window switch will do nothing at all. The windows won’t budge, and the motor won’t make any noise.

  • Safety Risk: Car windows that only work sometimes due to failing door motors compromise your safety. If your car doors fail to open in an emergency situation, your windows may be your only escape route. Once the motor shows any signs of malfunction, it’s time to have a technician install a new one.
