Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked safely and the ignition is turned off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Gather tools: multimeter, socket set, flathead screwdriver, and electrical connectors.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Remove the power window fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
  • Check the fuse for continuity with a multimeter; replace if blown with the correct amperage fuse (usually 15A or 20A).
3. Check and Replace Window Switches
  • Remove the door panel using a flathead screwdriver to pry off clips and screws.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the power window switch.
  • Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity; replace if defective.
  • Reinstall the door panel and reconnect the wiring harness.
4. Inspect Wiring and Connections
  • Examine the wiring harness for any frayed or damaged wires, especially near the door hinge.
  • Repair any damaged wires using electrical tape or replace sections with new wiring.
  • Ensure all connectors are securely fastened.
5. Test Window Motors
  • Access the window motor by removing the door panel.
  • Test each motor by applying direct 12V power from the battery to determine functionality.
  • Replace any non-functioning motors with new units.
