Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and parts.
Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Check and Replace Fuse

Locate the fuse box; typically found in the passenger compartment or engine bay.
Remove the fuse related to the power windows (check the owner’s manual for the exact location).
Inspect the fuse for continuity; replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage if it is blown.

3. Inspect and Replace Power Window Switch

Remove the door panel using a socket set and trim removal tools to access the switch.
Disconnect the power window switch connector.
Test the switch with a multimeter; if faulty, replace it with a new one.
Reconnect the new switch and reassemble the door panel.

4. Inspect and Replace Window Motor

After removing the door panel, locate the window motor.
Disconnect the motor connector and check for voltage with a multimeter when the switch is activated.
If no voltage is detected, further inspect the wiring or relay. If voltage is present but the motor doesn't function, remove the window motor.
Replace the window motor if it is defective. Reinstall the new motor and reconnect the wiring.

5. Reassemble and Test

Carefully reassemble the door panel, ensuring all clips and screws are secured.
Reconnect the vehicle battery.
Test the power window operation by pressing the switch to open and close the window.
