Default Bringing the Window Down

Alright, I have to replace the the power window regulator in my Integra, yet my problem is, the window is up and all the instructions I find for removing it has the window already down. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting to the screws holding the window in or bringing the window down? Thanks.

Alright. Scratch that I got it. Now the problem is, it still won't work. I know 100% that the new regulator works. Checked the fuses and they're all fine. All of the other power options work on the door except windows, any ideas on whats going on here?

Bad switch for the window maybe. To clarify, the switch in the door panel.

Can you control the passenger side window from the drivers side control?

^ Fuses are pretty much fine and it doesn't matter I got a deal on the regulator anyway.

I can't control the window from the driver side panel nor passenger side panel. So it could be this switch in the door panel then? Where is that located exactly?

Thanks for the help so far and sorry for the late reply. I've been sick all month so I haven't been able to work on it.

Do you have a multimeter or 12V test light?

MM&Y of car would help.

What window does not work?

Assuming it is a 94-98, [G3] Integra, the first thing to do is test for power at fuse 5 - 20A, [drivers] and fuse 8 - 20A, [passengers ] then test for power on the white/yellow lead, [drivers] and the blue/black lead. [pass.] at the drivers door power window switch.

Also test for grounds on both the red/yellow and red/blue leads at drivers door switch, [drives window motor leads] and the blue/green and blue/yellow leads at drivers door switch, [pass. window motor leads] you will also need to check for grounds on the blue/red and blue/white leads at the pass. door switch.

All 6 of these leads should test as grounds, [switches plugged in and not pressed for up and down]

The power window system is a PRGAR, [polarity reversing ground at rest] system, meaning both the leads going to the motor will be grounded at rest, the ground is "lifted" off one of the leads and 12V+, [power] is supplied to the lead to run the motor.

You may want to check fuse 36 - 50A in engine bay fuse box, [main power for power windows.
Also check fuse 14 - 20A in under dash fuse box, [switched power for power window relay].

Do not just eyeball the fuses test them, [both ends] with a 12V test light, the 50A is hot at all times the others need the ign, switch in run position to be hot. 94

Just got a test light, so I shall try this now.

And it's a 1996 Integra GSR and it's the passenger side window.

Did you happen to check the switch for the passenger side window lock?
