my Honda Accord’s windows won't go down, what could be the issue?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety during repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuse

• Tools Required: Fuse puller or pliers.
• Locate the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
• Remove the power window fuse and inspect it visually for any breaks. If blown, replace with a fuse of the same amperage.

3. Replace Power Window Switch

• Tools Required: Screwdriver set, trim removal tool.
• Remove the door panel using a trim removal tool to access the power window switch.
• Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch.
• Replace the switch with a new one and reconnect the harness.
• Reinstall the door panel securely.

4. Test and Replace Window Motor (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
• If the switch is functional, test the window motor by applying direct power from a 12V source.
• If the motor does not operate, remove it from the door by unscrewing it and disconnecting the wiring.
• Install the new window motor and secure it with the screws. Ensure all connections are tight.
