What is what to do when your window won't roll up?

Here's some information on what to do when your car window won't roll up:

Troubleshooting and Temporary Solutions:

Try the Switch Repeatedly: Sometimes a faulty switch just needs a bit of encouragement. Repeatedly pressing the up and down switch may help engage the motor. Consider that it may be a problem with the Window%20Switch itself.
Check the Fuse: Locate the fuse for your power windows (consult your owner's manual for the fuse box location and fuse diagram). A blown Fuse is a common cause. Replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
Door Lock/Window Lock Button: Ensure that the door lock or Window%20Lock button hasn't been accidentally engaged. This button disables the power windows from operating from the passenger doors, and sometimes the driver door as well.
Slam the Door (Gently): Sometimes, a loose connection can be temporarily fixed by a gentle (but firm) slam of the door. This vibration might re-establish the electrical connection. Do not use excessive force, as this can cause more damage.
Manually Assist the Window: While holding the window switch up, gently pull up on the window glass. This can help the motor overcome any initial resistance, especially if the window is stuck due to debris or a sticky track.
Tap the Door Panel: In some cases, tapping or lightly hitting the door panel near the Power%20Window%20Motor might dislodge a stuck motor.
Cooling Down: If the window has been used excessively, the motor might overheat and temporarily stop working. Let it cool down for 15-20 minutes and then try again.

If the Window is Stuck Open:

Wedge it Closed: Use cardboard, duct tape, or other readily available materials to temporarily wedge the window closed to protect the interior from weather and theft.
Plastic Sheeting: Cover the window opening with heavy-duty plastic sheeting secured with duct tape.

More Permanent Solutions/Professional Help:

Faulty Window Motor: The most common cause of a window that won't roll up is a failing Power%20Window%20Motor. This will likely require replacement.
Broken Window Regulator: The Window%20Regulator is the mechanical device that raises and lowers the window. It can break, causing the window to become stuck.
Wiring Issues: Damaged or corroded wiring can prevent the window from working. This requires professional diagnosis and repair.
Seek Professional Help: If you're not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing electrical or mechanical components, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose and fix the problem correctly.
