Car power window.

Find out how power windows operate. Power windows have become so common that by 2008 some automakers eliminated hand crank windows from all their models. The most common power window mechanism is pretty basic. Some cars have one in the driver s door as well as a central module called the body controller.

Power windows are one of those hidden miracles in cars they re actually pretty amazing once you learn about them. On some cars the power windows work in a completely different way. There s a simple regulator mechanism usually similar to the mechanism used on garden variety hand cranked windows. So many vehicles now have power windows that some people no longer understand the formerly common sign from another driver of using their hand to simulate moving a window crank to indicate that they wish to speak with someone when stopped at a light or in a parking lot.

Instead of the power for the motor going through the switches directly the switches are connected to one of the many electronic modules in the car the average car contains 25.
