Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical shock.
2. Check and Replace Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box (usually under the dashboard or in the engine compartment).
  • Remove the power window fuse(s) using a fuse puller.
  • Inspect the fuse for any signs of damage (broken filament).
  • Replace with a new fuse of the same amperage (typically 15A).
  • Reinstall the fuse and reconnect the battery terminal.
3. Inspect and Test the Power Window Switch
  • Remove the door panel to access the power window switch.
  • Disconnect the switch connector.
  • Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the switch terminals while pressing the switch.
  • If the switch does not show continuity, replace it with a new switch.
4. Inspect the Window Motor
  • With the door panel still removed, locate the power window motor.
  • Disconnect the motor’s electrical connector.
  • Test the motor with a direct power supply (battery) to see if it operates.
  • If the motor does not work, replace it with a new power window motor.
5. Reassemble
  • Reattach the door panel securely, ensuring all clips and screws are in place.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
