Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: fuse puller, multimeter, socket set, screwdrivers.
  • Ensure the vehicle is in a safe, well-lit area and the ignition is turned off.
2. Check and Replace Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box in the cabin or under the hood.
  • Use the fuse puller to remove the power window fuse.
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity; replace if blown with a fuse of the same amperage.
3. Inspect and Replace Window Switches
  • Remove the door panel using a screwdriver and trim removal tools.
  • Disconnect the window switch connector.
  • Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity; replace if defective.
4. Test Window Motors
  • Disconnect the window motor from the wiring harness.
  • Use jumper wires to apply direct voltage (12V) to the motor to see if it operates; if it does not, replace the motor.
5. Check Wiring Harness
  • Carefully inspect the wiring harness for any signs of fraying, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • Repair or replace any damaged sections of the wiring harness.
6. Reassemble Components
  • Reconnect all connectors and ensure they are secure.
  • Reattach the door panel and ensure all clips and screws are properly fastened.
