Some Kia Sportage owners report experiencing issues with their windows not rolling down, which may be attributed to several common causes. These include potential problems with the window's electrical system, such as a faulty fuse or relay. Additionally, a broken window motor or regulator could be the source of the malfunction. Owners who have recently replaced or disconnected the 12-volt battery may find that the auto windows require manual operation to function properly. In some instances, the window motor may still produce clicking sounds when attempting to lower the window, but no sound when trying to raise it. To diagnose the issue, testing the resistance between the switch and the door pillar plug, along with checking the wiring between the switch and the motor, can be beneficial. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, consulting a professional mechanic is recommended for further assistance.
