Power Window Works Intermittently — Electrical Issue o r Motor Wear?

Sometimes the rear-left power window in my United Alpha works fine, but at other times it doesn’t respond until I press the switch multiple times. Could this intermittent operation be due to a bad relay, worn motor brushes, o r loose wiring? How do I identify the real cause?

Slow o r jerky window movement is very common in the United Alpha and often caused by mechanical resistance o r weak motor performance.

Common causes

Dry o r worn window regulator tracks

Weak motor due to wear o r heat

Dirt o r debris in the window channel

Bent regulator arms o r worn gears

How to fix

Lubricate window tracks and regulator arms with silicone spray avoid oil-based lubricants.

Inspect the regulator gears and arms for wear o r damage.

Replace the motor if it’s weak o r overheating.

Clean the window channel of dirt and debris, which can increase resistance.

Regular lubrication prevents jerky o r slow window operation, especially in dusty Pakistani conditions.
