  • Apply direct battery power to the motor terminals to check functionality.
  • If the motor does not operate, replace it with a new window motor.
  • Reinstall the motor and reconnect the harness.

5. Check Wiring Harness

  • Inspect the wiring harness connected to the window switch and motor.
  • Look for signs of fraying, corrosion, or disconnections.
  • Repair or replace damaged sections as necessary.
