how to fix the passenger side window not working in my Toyota Camry Seventh Generation (2012-2017)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: socket set, multimeter, flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, and a panel removal tool.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety while working.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuse (if necessary)

• Locate the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
• Remove the relevant fuse for the power windows using the fuse puller or pliers.
• Inspect the fuse for continuity; replace it with a fuse of the same amperage if blown.

3. Remove Door Panel

• Use a panel removal tool to carefully pry off the door panel clips.
• Remove the screws securing the door panel (typically at the armrest and behind the door handle).
• Gently lift the panel off, starting from the bottom, and disconnect any electrical connectors.

4. Test and Replace Window Switch

• Disconnect the passenger window switch from the door harness.
• Use a multimeter to check for continuity when pressing the switch; replace the switch if defective.

5. Test and Replace Window Motor (if necessary)

• Disconnect the window motor from the wiring harness.
• Apply direct voltage from a power source to the motor terminals to see if it operates.
• If the motor does not operate, remove it by unscrewing it from the regulator and replace with a new motor.

6. Reassemble Door Panel

• Reconnect all electrical connectors.
• Align the door panel back onto the door frame and press it into place until the clips snap.
• Replace all screws and ensure the door panel is securely attached.

7. Reconnect Battery

• Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery once all work is complete.
