Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, flathead screwdriver, and electrical tape.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box (usually under the dashboard or in the engine compartment).
  • Identify the power window fuse using the diagram on the fuse box cover.
  • Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity and replace it with one of the same amperage rating if blown.
3. Test Window Switches
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the power window switches.
  • If a switch is faulty, remove the door panel to access it:
    • Remove screws and clips holding the door panel.
    • Carefully detach the panel to expose the switch connectors.
    • Replace the faulty switch with a new one and reassemble the door panel.
4. Inspect and Test Window Motor
  • If switches are operational, proceed to test the window motor:
    • Disconnect the window motor connector.
    • Use jumper wires to connect the motor directly to the battery to see if it functions.
    • If the motor does not operate, replace it.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • After replacing any faulty components, reassemble the door panel securely.
  • Reconnect the battery and test the power windows to ensure they function correctly.
