Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: screwdriver set, multimeter, socket set, and trim removal tools.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Remove the Door Panel
  1. Use a trim removal tool to carefully detach the door panel clips without damaging them.
  2. Unscrew any visible screws securing the door panel, typically located around the handle and bottom edge.
  3. Gently lift the door panel upwards and away from the door frame, taking care not to pull on any connected wiring harnesses.
3. Inspect and Test the Power Window Switch
  1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the power window switch.
  2. Use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity by pressing the switch while probing the terminals.
  3. If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new one.
4. Test and Replace the Power Window Motor
  1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the window motor.
  2. Set the multimeter to measure voltage and activate the window switch to check for voltage at the motor connector.
  3. If voltage is present and the motor does not operate, replace the power window motor.
  4. If no voltage is present, the issue may lie in the wiring or switch as previously diagnosed.
5. Reassemble the Door Panel
  1. Reconnect the wiring harnesses for the switch and motor.
  2. Position the door panel back onto the door frame, aligning it with the clips.
  3. Reinstall all screws and ensure the panel is securely attached.
  4. Reconnect the vehicle battery and test the window operation.
