Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, screwdriver set, and wire connectors.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety while working on the electrical system.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box; refer to the owner’s manual for the specific location of the power window fuse.
  • Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity. If blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
3. Test and Replace Window Switch
  • Remove the switch panel using a screwdriver.
  • Disconnect the switch connector and test for continuity with a multimeter.
  • If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new switch.
4. Inspect Wiring and Connectors
  • Visually inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors leading to the window motor for fraying or corrosion.
  • Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors as necessary.
5. Test and Replace Window Motor
  • If the previous steps do not resolve the issue, remove the interior door panel to access the window motor.
  • Disconnect the motor connector and apply direct power and ground to the motor terminals to see if it operates.
  • If the motor does not function, replace it with a new motor, ensuring to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installation.
