When the electrical system in a vehicle fails, it can disable the power windows, leaving them inoperable. However, there is usually a way to raise a power window manually, allowing access to the vehicle’s interior or to close the window in the event of rain or other inclement weather. The specific method for doing this may vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, but the general steps are as follows:
Locate the manual window crank or handle. This is usually located on the inside of the door panel, near the window. Remove the door panel if necessary to access the manual crank. Insert the crank or handle into the designated hole in the window regulator and turn it clockwise to raise the window.
