Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather required tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat surface and ensure it is turned off.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical shock.
2. Inspect and Replace the Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box and identify the power window fuse.
  • Remove the fuse and visually inspect it for damage.
  • If blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage (typically 30A).
3. Replace the Power Window Switch
  • Remove the door panel carefully using a trim removal tool.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the power window switch.
  • Remove the switch from the door panel.
  • Install the new power window switch and reconnect the wiring harness.
4. Repair or Replace the Window Motor/Regulator
  • After removing the door panel, locate the window motor and regulator.
  • If the motor is faulty (does not work when power is directly applied), remove the bolts securing it.
  • Disconnect the motor from the regulator and replace it with a new motor.
  • If the regulator is damaged, it should also be replaced by unbolting it from the door frame.
5. Reassemble the Door Panel
  • Reattach the door panel by aligning it properly and pressing it into place.
  • Secure all screws and clips that were removed.
  • Reconnect the battery.
