Solution
1. Preparation
  • Tools Required: Socket set, multimeter, wire stripper/crimper, OBD-II scanner
  • Disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shock and ensure safety while working.
2. Inspect and Replace the Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Find the fuse related to the power windows (refer to the owner's manual for the exact location).
  • Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If the fuse is blown, replace it with one of the same amperage rating.
3. Check the Window Switch
  • Remove the door panel to access the window switch.
  • Disconnect the switch connector and use the multimeter to test for continuity when the switch is pressed.
  • If defective, replace the window switch with a new one.
4. Test the Window Motor
  • Locate the window motor inside the door panel.
  • Disconnect the motor connector and apply 12V power directly to the motor terminals to check if it operates.
  • If the motor does not respond, replace it with a new window motor.
5. Inspect Wiring and Connections
  • While the door panel is removed, visually inspect the wiring harness for signs of damage or disconnection.
  • Repair or replace any damaged wires or connectors.
6. Reassemble Components
  • Reinstall the door panel carefully, ensuring all clips and screws are secured.
  • Reconnect the vehicle battery.
