I have a 95 Honda Civic Hatchback VX. My friend swapped the power windows from an EX Coupe and installed it in my car. My car came with manual windows. It was a pretty flawless install, except he didn't mount the window control box to the door. I tried looking up the door diagram for an EX and I can't seem to locate where that box mounts to on the door.

Would anyone happen to know where these boxes get mounted? Currently they are literally just hanging behind the door panel. I'd like to mount them properly.


Thanks in advance.

Doesn't sound like it's from the 5th gen.

When I looked into my books, the control unit is built into the driver side switch. So you have the driver side switch and then the motor. Those are the only two components on the 92-95 power window units from what I can find.

The 95 EX CDM I have downstairs doesn't have power windows, just power mirrors. So once again, I tend to think the setup you have was pulled from a 96-00 EX not a 92-95. That would explain no OEM mounting location on the door.

Okay, where does the roll up module on a 96 EX mount to on the door?

Actually the FSM for the 96-00 shows the same thing. The control unit is integrated into the driver side switch panel:

That's not what I have though.

Maybe I'm thinking of the power supply for the power door locks? That was swapped to my EG as well.

Oh boy are you in for a fun time. The only control box is built into the driver's door switches. It's all a relay system.

It probably is the power door lock control unit, not for the power windows.

You are correct. Thank you!

Which is a whole other can of worms. Do you need the wiring for that, too?

GearHeadDriver

iTrader: (1)

No, it's all wired up and working properly. It just needs to be mounted.

Unfortunately, I just plugged the switches back into the wiring harnesses and the windows / door locks don't function anymore.

Sigh.... Very disappointed. I have appointments which require them to be working tomorrow.

Any idea's on where to start? Both doors are plugged into their respective window controller. I also plugged in the Unlock/Lock switch for the driver side. Isn't that it?

So this^ statement was wrong?

Bad install?

Blown fuses?

Broken wires in door jamb connectors?

That statement was correct until I tried it again tonight. It had been working since it was installed late last year until after the glass in both doors were replaced. The glass was done roughly 1-2 months ago. At that time, I had asked the installer to leave the door panels off. That was the last time they were seen working.

The install wasn't clean, but it was working.

I checked all the fuses under the steering wheel and none were blown.

I'll try looking at the jambs again, but from what I could tell it was OK.

Fuse 46 under hood, check it. Fuse 7, 8, 10, 11, 24 under dash, check them. Ground behind the driver's kick panel, check it.

Sounds the glass installers just forgot to reconnect all the plugs. Why didn't you let them finish the work they started?

GearHeadDriver

They only took off the door panels. The only plugs that came off was the Unlock/Lock button and the window roll up/down buttons for the driver side. On the passenger side there is only the window roll up/down button. I plugged all those back in and nothing happens. The plugs are pretty straight forward.

I was replacing the door panels, so I had asked them to leave them off when they were finished replacing the glass. I don't believe they did anything wrong.

Have you specifically checked the master window switch connector, the door lock actuator connectors, the window motor connectors, the door jamb connectors, and the window and lock fuses?

GearHeadDriver

The master switch connector is this? Yes, I checked the plug on the driver and passenger side.

(Picture is for reference only. It is not my car model.)

Where is the window and lock fuses? I only checked the fuses that were in the main panel under the steering wheel. If this setup has it's own spot for fuses because my car did NOT come with power windows, etc. then I have not checked them. The connectors on all the other components are plugged in securely.

Download a copy of the 92-95 Civic service manual.

I have a copy, but my car does not come with power windows and door locks, so I wasn't sure if the fuses would be in the same spot. I'll check it out. However, every fuse under the dash is operational.

Former User

Look up the window and lock fuses in the manual and then check whether fuses are installed at those locations. If so, as is likely, voltage test them.

No luck so far. The correct fuses are in the fuse box.

Former User

What about the window and lock fuses? Are they there?

GearHeadDriver

iTrader: (1)

Yes, they are present.

So now test the relevant ones. See post #21. Post the results.
