Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety during the repair process.
2. Inspect and Reset Window Lock Switch
  • Locate the window lock switch on the driver's side control panel.
  • Verify that the switch is in the "unlock" position.
  • If it was locked, recheck the operation of the windows after resetting.
3. Check and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Reference the fuse diagram to identify the power window fuse.
  • Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity; replace it if it is blown (use the same amperage).
4. Test Power Window Switch
  • Remove the driver’s side control panel by gently prying it up with a trim tool.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the window switch.
  • Using a multimeter, set it to continuity test mode.
  • Check for continuity between the switch terminals when pressed; replace the switch if defective.
5. Inspect Wiring Harness
  • Visually inspect the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, or disconnection.
  • If damage is found, repair or replace the wiring as necessary to ensure proper connections.
6. Test Window Motors
  • Disconnect the window motor connector for the specific window not working.
  • Using jumper wires, connect the motor directly to the vehicle's battery to check for operation.
  • If the motor does not operate when connected directly, it may need to be replaced.
