Have to pass Maryland Safety Inspection. Passenger window does not go down. Will that fail the inspection?

Question

As the question states, the passenger window does not go down. Another thing is when the lights are on and you turn off the ignition , the sound doesn't work.

Will these things fail the inspection? I've heard Maryland is very picky...

Answer 1

I have been inspecting vehicles for over 30 years and I would pass this vehicle because it is the passengers side window but I would reject it if it was the drivers side due to safety issues and as for the ignition sound, that would not be an issue.......

Below is what they will be checking and good luck..........

• Steering system

• Wheel alignment

• Suspension

• Brake system

• Wheels / tires

• Fuel system

• Exhaust system

• Bumpers

• Fenders

• Lights

• Electrical system

• Mirrors

• Glazing (windows)

• Wipers

• Hood / catches

• Door handle latches

• Floor / trunk pans

• Speedometer / odometer

• Driver seat

• Safety belts

• Motor mounts

• Gear shift indicator

• Universal and CV (constant velocity) joints

• Emissions equipment
