2. Check and Replace the Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Remove the cover and identify the power window fuse using the diagram.
  • Use a multimeter to check for continuity; replace it if blown.
  • Reinstall the fuse and reconnect the battery.
3. Inspect and Test the Power Window Switch
  • Remove the door panel using a socket set and trim removal tools.
  • Disconnect the power window switch connector.
  • Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the switch terminals when pressed.
  • If faulty, replace the switch with a new one.

  • Remove the window motor from the door assembly.
  • Connect the motor directly to a 12V battery to verify operation.
  • If the motor does not operate, replace it.
5. Inspect Wiring and Regulator
