Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather the necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box 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 and inspect it for continuity.
    • If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
3. Test and Replace Window Switch
  • Remove the door panel using a trim removal tool to access the window switch.
  • Disconnect the switch connector and test for continuity with a multimeter.
    • If there is no continuity, replace the switch with a new one.
  • Reconnect the switch and reassemble the door panel.
4. Inspect and Replace Window Motor
  • If the switch is functional, locate the window motor inside the door panel.
  • Disconnect the motor connector and test it by applying direct battery voltage.
    • If the motor does not activate, it must be replaced.
  • Remove the old motor by unscrewing it from the door frame and installing the new motor.
  • Reconnect the motor and secure the door panel back in place.
5. Wiring Inspection and Repair
  • If the motor is functioning but the window still does not operate, inspect the wiring harness for any visible damage or disconnections.
  • Repair any damaged wires by splicing in new wire or using electrical tape to secure loose connections.
