What would cause both front power window to stop on 1996 BMW 328i?

1. Faulty Window Regulator

- One of the most common causes for a power window to stop working is a faulty window regulator. The regulator is the mechanism responsible for raising and lowering the window. It consists of a motor, gears, and a cable that connects to the window glass. If the regulator fails, the window will not be able to move up or down.

2. Faulty Window Motor

- The window motor is responsible for providing the power to raise and lower the window. If the window motor fails, the window will not be able to move up or down, even if the regulator is working properly.

3. Faulty Window Switch

- The window switch is responsible for sending the signal to the window motor to raise or lower the window. If the window switch fails, the window will not be able to move up or down, even if the regulator and motor are working properly.

4. Faulty Wiring

- The window regulator, motor, and switch are all connected by electrical wiring. If there is a break or damage in the wiring, the power window will not be able to operate properly.

5. Faulty Window Control Module

- Some vehicles are equipped with a window control module that controls the operation of the power windows. If the window control module fails, the power windows will not be able to operate properly.
