ok so my 96 civ has some serious power window issues. ive isolated it to something in the car, the door has no circuitry problems. where else should i check? i kno its not a fuse...so im out of ideas....PLEASE help!

What does your window do? Not go down/up...? etc.

both windows just one window? check the wires going from the door into the car at the harness connection point i had a wire come disconnected there before and my power mirror wouldn't work

its just the drivers side, it wont go down. its not the harness connection point...i checked it

Bad motor maybe? Do you hear the motor trying to pull it down, or is there just nothing?

check the switch and the motor. On my old eg the switch used to arc every once and a while and currode the contacts, the motor might be shot though also. its easy to test the motor though. just put power and ground to the blue wire and the black wire. 12 on blue and ground on black works the motor in one direction, 12 on black and ground on blue works it in the other direction.

i bought a new switch...that wasnt it, and i also ran power thru the motor and the window worked then, but not with the switch...can anyone think of somewhere inside the car i could check?

if there slow, just use silicone spray at the edges of the window

Are you sure this works? Because my windows are slow as hell coming up or going down. And sometimes stops when going up/down. So will this so called spray or can something else be used, work? Also could the motors be almost going out? Replacing all 4 motors will be a beat down.

if the motors work then you eaither have a blown fuse, or some bad wiring somewhere.

My pass side window goes up and down slow as hell. I tried the silicon spray with no luck. I sprayed everything. Nothing. What else could it be???

civic_stunna

anyone kno where the wiring runs after the door so i can check it?

monicle

its connected to your floor harness. I would check the connection right at where the wiring goes into the door. It may have come loose.

Do you disconnect the motor and use another 12v source? My 96 civic's drivers side window stopped working but it gradually got worse. I could hear the gears making some awful noise when the window was almost up but I would like to test the motor to see If I only need to replace the regulator. When I try to put the window down I hear nothing. Window just stay in up position
