i bought the car with a dead pass side window
i tried replacing the motor but that wasnt the problem, motor is good
i quickly checked the fuses under the column and under the hood, all seem oh k

what exact fuses would be giving me this problem so i can examine them more carefully? the charts are confusing

right now im trying to find a voltemeter to see if the switches are working
window doesnt work from driver side or pass side switch, would that be an indication that the switches are not at fault? or if one went, both fail?

Assuming you have an EJ8 (your sig)...

Are other parts of the Door working properly (Mirror Motor, Door Lock Actuator, Speaker)?

The fuses for the Power Windows are found in the Under-the-Dash Fuse Box. They are on the Bottom Row, and are the 2 7.5A Fuses to the extreme Right. (slots #10 (passenger) and #11 (driver) in your Helm Manual). Slot 10 has a Green/Black wire coming from it, and Slot 11 has a Blue/Black wire coming from it...

Don't just visually inspect a Fuse. There may be a break in the part that's covered by the Fuse's Housing. Use a MultiMeter for certainty.

Also, make sure that the Door Harness Connectors are snapped in all the way. I recently had issues regarding this, and found that the Connectors weren't properly attached.

Lastly, make sure that your Master Switch (Driver's Side) is set to the ON position. I wish I could tell you how much of my life I've wasted trying to "fix" a problem I once had, when it was all because of that ******* toggle switch... but it's too embarrassing...

If everything seems to be in place, and ALL Fuses are VERIFIED as good, then you'll have to do some hunting with your MultiMeter. It's always best to start from the Source (I guess you can start with your Fuse Box, but if that's not getting power...), fixing problems along the way until you are sure you are giving signal to your motor.

Let us know how things go!

the three wires on the pass door window, green, blue white and blue orange (i think)
all get a signal to the switch on the driver door.

i think im going to try replacing the driver side switch

i found one set of wires that toggled a circuit depending on if that pass door switch was pressed or not.

if i replace the driver side switch and still nothing, i dont know what to do next

fuses are good

In case you don't have your fuse cover or if you get confused by what the abbreviations mean, the first, second and third images in this thread are a printable version for your car and then explanations for the abbreviations.

do you have a multi-meter?

i found a wiring diagram
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1762783
im going to go test crazy tomorrow

i have a voltimeter (no ohm reading)

sorry to sound so broad
when testing the switch what readings should i be getting to show it's working correctly?

for the wiring, should i be seeing 12v on the green/black wire at the door without touching the switch?

if i do this:
Passenger Side (all wires come directly out of the plug connecting to the switch):
- Power -&gt; Green/Black Wire
- Ground -&gt; Blue/Yellow and Blue/Orange Wire
and it doesnt work, then is the p/s switch bad?

i figured i'd have a hard time sleeping because i wanted to test this... so i did.
just got back, now 4 in the morning.

i grounded the blue yellow and blue orange and that pass switch works!
since this is the case i am left to point the blame at the driver switch since the blue yellow and blue orange wires tested good across the doors
