Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety.
  • Tools Required: Socket set, Multimeter, Screwdriver set, Pliers.
2. Check and Replace the Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box under the dashboard and/or engine bay.
  • Remove the cover and find the power window fuse.
  • Use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If blown, replace with a fuse of the same amperage.
  • Reconnect the battery and test the window operation.
3. Inspect the Window Switch
  • Remove the door panel using a screwdriver to access the window switch.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch and test for continuity using a multimeter.
  • If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new one and reassemble the door panel.
4. Test the Window Motor
  • With the door panel still removed, locate the window motor.
  • Disconnect the motor from the wiring harness.
  • Apply direct battery voltage to the motor terminals to check if it operates.
  • If the motor does not function, replace it with a new one.
5. Inspect and Replace Window Regulator (if necessary)
  • If the motor operates but the window does not move, the window regulator may be faulty.
  • Remove the motor and regulator assembly from the door.
  • Inspect for any broken cables or parts.
  • Replace the regulator if damaged and reassemble all components.
