Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: socket set, multimeter, flathead screwdriver, and wire connectors.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety while working.
2. Fuse Inspection and Replacement
  • Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Remove the cover and identify the power window fuse.
  • Use a fuse puller or pliers to extract the fuse and inspect it.
  • If blown, replace with a new fuse of the same amperage (usually 30A for power windows).
3. Switch and Wiring Inspection
  • Remove the door panel using a flathead screwdriver to pry off clips and screws.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the window switch.
  • Use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. Replace if faulty.
  • Inspect the wiring harness for any cuts or corrosion and repair as necessary.
4. Motor Testing and Replacement
  • Locate the window motor inside the door panel after removing it.
  • Disconnect the motor's wiring harness.
  • Apply a direct voltage (12V) to the motor terminals from a battery or power source.
  • If the motor does not operate, replace it with a new motor. If it works, check connections to the switch.
5. Reassembly
  • Once repairs are complete, reattach the door panel by aligning it with the clips and securing screws.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Test the window operation to ensure repairs were successful.
