Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Screwdriver set, socket set, multimeter, trim removal tool.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.
2. Check 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 and inspect it for continuity; replace if necessary with the same amperage.
3. Inspect and Test the Switch
  • Remove the door panel using a trim removal tool.
  • Unplug the power window switch connector.
  • Set the multimeter to continuity mode and test the switch. Replace if it does not pass continuity.
4. Test the Window Motor
  • With the switch still disconnected, locate the power window motor connector.
  • Use the multimeter to check for voltage at the motor while activating the switch.
  • If voltage is present but the motor does not operate, proceed to replace the motor.
5. Replace the Window Motor
  • Remove the screws securing the window motor to the door frame.
  • Disconnect the motor’s electrical connector.
  • Install the new motor by reversing the removal steps, ensuring it is securely fastened.
  • Reconnect the electrical connector.
6. Reassemble the Door Panel
  • Reattach the door panel, ensuring all clips and screws are properly secured.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
