my Genesis G70 window won't go up or down, what should I do?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
• Ensure the work area is clean and well-lit.

2. Check and Replace the Fuse

• Tools Required: Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers.
• Locate the fuse box and identify the power window fuse based on the owner's manual.
• Remove the fuse and inspect it for continuity; replace it if blown with a fuse of the same amperage (typically 15A or 20A).

3. Replace the Window Switch

• Tools Required: Screwdriver set and trim removal tools.
• Remove the trim panel around the window switch using trim tools to avoid damage.
• Unscrew and disconnect the window switch from the harness.
• Replace with a new switch and reassemble the trim panel.

4. Replace the Window Motor

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, and possibly a drill.
• Remove the door panel carefully, unscrewing all fasteners and unclipping any retaining clips.
• Detach any electrical connectors linked to the window motor.
• Unscrew the window motor from the frame and replace it with a new one, ensuring proper alignment.
• Reassemble the door panel, ensuring all clips and screws are secure.
