Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical shock.
  • Ensure the work area is clean and free of debris.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Remove the power window fuse using a fuse puller.
  • Inspect the fuse for continuity; replace with an equivalent fuse if blown (typically 15A or 20A).
3. Test and Replace Window Switches
  • Remove the door panel to access the window switches.
  • Disconnect the connector from the window switch.
  • Use a multimeter to test for continuity; if faulty, replace the switch with a new one.
4. Check Wiring and Connectors
  • Inspect the wiring harness for any visible damage, fraying, or corrosion.
  • Use a multimeter to check for proper voltage at the connector leading to the window motor.
  • Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors as necessary.
5. Inspect and Replace Window Motors
  • If the switch and wiring are functioning, access the window motor by removing the door panel.
  • Disconnect the window motor from the connector and test for voltage while pressing the switch.
  • If no voltage is detected, replace the window motor.
