You need a new regulator. Simple as that.

It is a black box. It is easy to replace, just take the door panel off.

I have that problem too, but they go slow at times. When it rains it goes a bit faster. My friend had the same problem, but he put electrical tape over the rubber that the glass pulls up through. I was thinking of doing this, but this seems "ghetto-tech." No doubt it will work, but isnt there a spray that and lubricate the rubber?

the passneger side widow wont open at all. both of the controls dont work. i guess i have to replace that reg. thingy.

and an easy way to speed up ur windows is to put armor-all(u know what im trying to spell ) in the window seals and the will go up MUCH faster.

is it possible to use the driver side components in the passenger side? I'd love to have the "auto" window switch that the driver side window has (5th gen accord) for the passenger side too. Not to mention my driver side rolls up/down so much quicker than the passenger side.

I have a power window module wired up to my alarm. You get remote control of the windows and the one touch up and down from the driver's side controls.

sweet ****.

sounds like your motor is burned out. happened to me last month. just remove door panel and 10mm bolts that hold the window assembly. replace the motor - reinstall. i dont know anything about regulators but in my experience the window just stopped working and it was my motor.

you might want to take the switch apart and clean the contacts, I had a similar problem. On mine the drivers side switch would move the passenger side window up fast but the passenger switch would move the window very slowly. I checked took the passenger switch apart and the switch contacts looked burnt, probably from rain that hit the switch when the window was down. I just sanded the burnt part on the copper contacts and it works fine now. So if you window rolls up slow or works intermitently check the contacts because i have had the same problem on 3 different hondas.

Ah, you could be onto something there. I have each interior piece striped to its component parts. I noticed the passenger and both rear window switches were all identical. My passenger window has always been the slow one, so if I swapped (or cleaned) the switch it might speed up, but in my case I think it's more of a friction issue in the window track...

Err at least they look identical. Technically if a right side switch were on the left, it'd be upside-down and down would be up and up would be down unless the left side is wired opposite the right side which I think is the case. Haven't tested yet...

Please give accurate info when trying to help others out...

You have to determine if the problem is mechanically related or electrically related...

if your window goes "up" or "down" slow, then it is a mechanical problem and can be fixed with some silicone spray or window adjustment.. easy as that!!!! It only becomes a regulator problem if you try to manually force the window up or down, bending the regulator.. the regulator isn't a little little black box!!!.. its that thing that holds the window in position...

on the electrical side of things, you have to determine if the motor is getting a power signal.. plain and simple...

So if we are going to assume here, I'll assume master switch,drivers door wire harness,fuses,cabin harness,passenger side door harness, how about those door jamb connectors that always deteriorate, window run channel,regulator,bad motor,etc,etc... use your heads please!

Yeah. If the motor is not getting power, work backwords from there (electrical). If it is getting power, well, work forwards from there (mechanical)...
