In the early years of car manufacturing, the automobiles did not have the luxury of the power windows. To open and close your car window, you have to crank the handle clockwise or counterclockwise depending on whether you need to roll it up or down. Since the power window was introduced in the 1940’s, it has virtually been used in almost all cars. The power or electric window system has become an automatic feature in most cars but is only operable when the engine is running. The power window system is composed of the power window regulator, power window motor and the power window switch.
The heart of the power window is the lifting mechanism powered by the window motor. The window regulator is the scissor-like mechanism which rolls the window up and down thru its cables. The power window switch is used mainly to control the opening and closing of your power window. On the inside of each door is the door panel where the power window switches are located. It can be found where it is near the grasp of a passenger for safety and convenience, making it possible for each person to push it on or in the center console and still accessible to all. A set of switches can also be found on the driver side so the driver can operate all windows. Of all the components of the power window system, only the window switch is visible because the window motor and the window regulator are located inside the door panel.
The window switch primarily functions to send the instruction for the window motor where the power will run. There are different kinds of power window switches: the toggle switch, the rocker switch and the lever switch. All the switches are used for one purpose but it is the lever switch that comes highly recommended especially for those with children as this is the safest and needs the glass to be pulled up first. The rocker switch is not child-friendly as the window glass automatically goes up even with a head blocking the way.
Taking care of your window switches is as important as the other components in your car. Whether you use the lever, toggle or rocker switch on your power windows, all of them needs to be given the attention they deserve. It should be kept free of dust and dirt which can cause your windows to malfunction. For your Kia Sportagge Window Switch needs then you should go to Parts Train.
