Solution
1. Preparation
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.
  • Gather necessary tools, including a multimeter, screwdrivers, and a trim removal tool.
2. Check Window Lock Switch
  • Locate the window lock switch on the driver's control panel.
  • Ensure the switch is in the "unlock" position. If it remains engaged, toggle it and test the window functions again.
3. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Identify the power window fuse (consult the owner’s manual for specific fuse location).
  • Remove the fuse and inspect it for any signs of damage; if blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
4. Test Window Switches
  • Remove the door panel using a trim removal tool and screws.
  • Disconnect the window switch connectors.
  • Use a multimeter to test for continuity in the switch when pressed. Replace the switch if it is faulty.
5. Check Power Supply to Motors
  • Locate the power window motor at the base of each door.
  • Connect the multimeter to the motor's connector and activate the window switch.
  • Check for voltage; if there is no voltage, trace the wiring back to the switch and fuse.
6. Inspect Wiring Harness
  • Carefully examine the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, or disconnection.
  • Repair or replace any damaged sections of wiring as needed.
7. Reassembly and Testing
  • Reconnect all electrical connectors and reassemble the door panel.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  • Test all power windows to ensure proper functionality.
