Repair Instructions

Step 1: Replace Blown Fuse

Open the driver’s side door and locate the fuse box.
Identify the fuse related to the power windows using the fuse diagram in the owner's manual.
Pull out the fuse with a fuse puller or pliers.
Inspect the fuse; if it’s blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
Close the fuse box and test the windows.

Step 2: Replace Faulty Window Switch

If the fuse is good, remove the window switch panel:
- Use a panel removal tool to carefully pry off the window switch panel from the door.
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch.
Test the switch for continuity:
- Use a multimeter to check continuity across the switch terminals.
- If no continuity is detected, replace the switch with a new one.
Reconnect the new switch and reinstall the panel.

Step 3: Inspect and Replace Window Motor

If the window switch is functional, remove the door panel:
- Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove screws securing the door panel.
- Carefully pry off the panel, ensuring not to break any clips.
Disconnect any wiring harnesses connected to the door module and remove the door panel.
Access the window motor:
- Locate the window motor, usually attached to the window regulator.
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the motor.
- Remove the bolts securing the motor using a socket wrench.
Replace the motor:
- Install the new window motor by reversing the removal process.
- Reconnect the wiring harness and ensure it is secure.
Reassemble the door panel:
- Position the door panel back onto the door frame.
- Reinstall screws and push in any clips that were removed.
Test the window operation:
- Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and test the window switches to ensure they operate correctly.
