I can't put down any windows except driver's. This happened to all 3 windows overnight. When I attempt to put them down, I hear a faint clicking noise. When I engage the lock and attempt to put them down, there is no clicking noise. I can't decide if it is the switch or not and I don't like removig door panels unless I have to. (I always break clips).

Please Help!

do the other door switches operate their window?

Thanks for your quick response Silkypillow. The other switches will not put the windows down either. If I remember right, I got the same clicking noise. Its just like when a window motor is dead, but I know they didn't all 3 go bad at the same time with no warning.

if you receive the same clicking sound from the independent switches when orienting the lock switch on/off, it's doing it's job. the sound you're hearing is the lock switch activating/deactivating the power window relay, but it seems the relay is not completing the circuit.

It could be the wiring or the master switches themselves, but most likely the relay is bad. it's located behind drivers kick panel.

the relay can simply be replaced, tested with a multimeter or can also be swapped if there are relays with identical model #'s to identify it as faulty. Just be aware as to what you are potentially disabling.


hope this helps.

Cool. A bad relay sounds good to me. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your help!

Probably not the relay. The door multiplex is likely the culprit. It is part of the drivers window switch.

Thanks. I found articles on this later. I'll try relay first as it is easier to test, then try the switch assembly. This seems like a very common problem with accords.
