Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent electrical shock.
  • Ensure a clean workspace for handling components.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, typically 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.
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity; replace if blown (use a fuse of the same amperage).
3. Test and Replace the Window Switch
  • Reconnect the battery temporarily.
  • Use a multimeter to check for voltage at the switch terminals when the switch is pressed.
  • If no voltage is present, replace the window switch.
  • If voltage is present, proceed to test the window motor.
4. Remove and Inspect the Window Motor
  • Remove the door panel carefully, starting from the edges and working around any clips or screws.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the window motor.
  • Using a multimeter, test for voltage at the motor connector while operating the switch.
  • If voltage is present and the motor does not operate, replace the window motor.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reconnect all connectors and ensure all components are secure.
  • Reattach the door panel carefully, ensuring clips are seated properly.
  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Test the power window operation to confirm the repair.
