Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, screwdrivers, wiring diagram.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety before working on electrical components.
2. Check and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box (refer to the owner's manual for exact location).
  • Identify the power window fuse using the diagram on the fuse box cover.
  • Remove the fuse and inspect it; if it's blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage (usually 15A or as specified).
  • Reconnect the battery and test the power windows.
3. Test Window Switches
  • Remove the door panel to access the window switch assembly.
  • Disconnect the switch harness and use a multimeter to test for continuity across the switch terminals.
  • If defective, replace the switch with a new one.
4. Inspect and Test Power Window Motor
  • If the switch is functional, reconnect the door panel and check the wiring harness for loose connections.
  • If accessible, connect the window motor directly to a 12V power source to test its operation.
  • If the motor does not run, replace the window motor.
5. Replace Window Regulator (If Necessary)
  • If the motor operates but the window does not move, the window regulator may be faulty.
  • Remove the door panel and disconnect the motor and regulator assembly.
  • Replace the window regulator with a new unit, ensuring it is properly aligned and secured.
