Hello,

How to easily check power windows master switch?
Passenger front window is not working.
The motor is good.
Any sugesstions?


Thanks

Your description is a bit terse. What do you mean by not working?
Does the window operate from the passenger side but not the driver side?

Like I said, it's not working. From both sides

Well, this is what you said " How to easily check power windows master switch?
Passenger front window is not working.
The motor is good. "

So, if neither side is not working, how do you know the motor is good? Not to be smart, but I'll assume you checked the fuses. And, I don't know if this has any bearing, but on anther car it got me - the driver side safety lockout button isn't pushed, is it?

If you search for 2005 wiring diagrams, it looks like autozone has the schematics, you just need an online account (free). Once I confirmed power was getting to the passenger side door, I'd be looking at switch pinouts.

This looks like a good walk through:
I followed the video some, and it looks like there are two paths to the passenger side window for power (driver side and passenger side switches, etc). Hard to imagine both switches failing.

This may help just done a 2005 Civic with this problem. <br /><br />Rgs Kev

Although there are some similarities, the circuit diagram and wiring for a 2005 CR-V is not exactly the same as a 2005 Civic.

First check under-dash Fuse No. 22 (20A) to see if it is blown. If it is not blown, with the ignition switch in the ON or START position, check if there is power on both sides of that fuse with a voltmeter.

tech8,

Yes, I did check the fuse.
I don't understand "check if there is power on both sides of that fuse with a voltmeter. "
There are two wires that have voltage, that go to the passenger side. One if it does not have any voltage.
I'm confuse, it is the master switch or something else.
If I put the window down, I can close it by passenger side switch.

I also have the maintenance book for CRV, the one Honda tech use.

1. On the top of the fuse are two small metal contacts. With the fuse still inserted in the fuse box, with the ignition switch in the ON or START position, check/measure the voltage by touching the voltmeter to one contact of the fuse at a time.

Sometimes looking at a fuse does not necessarily prove it is okay. You can also test fuses this way without pulling them. You're essentially testing for voltage coming to the fuse and continuity through it at the fuse box.

2. If voltage measurements were okay, moving on, unplug the 20P Light Green connector at the driver's power window master switch. Check the voltage at the Grn/Blk wire at terminal no. 1 of the 20P connector. If the voltage measurement is close to what you tested at Fuse No. 22, then the Grn/Blk wiring to this switch is okay.

3. At the unplugged 20P Light Green connector, with two spare pieces of wire or two small thin paper clips.

a. Test to see if front passenger window goes up:

• Jump one wire from the terminal no. 2 cavity (Grn/Blk wire terminal) to terminal no. 1 cavity (Blu/Red wire terminal).
• Jump a different wire from terminal no. 8 cavity (Blk wire terminal) to terminal no. 3 cavity (Blu/Wht wire terminal).

b. Test to see if front passenger window goes down:

• Jump one wire from the terminal no. 2 cavity (Grn/Blk wire terminal) to terminal no. 3 cavity (Blu/Wht wire terminal).
• Jump a different wire from terminal no. 8 cavity (Blk wire terminal) to terminal no. 1 cavity (Blu/Red wire terminal).

4. Plug 20P master window switch connector back and move on to the front passenger power window switch. Unplug the natural colored 5P connector there.'

Check the voltage at the Grn/Blk wire at terminal no. 1 of the 5P connector. If the voltage measurement is close to what you tested at Fuse No. 22, then the Grn/Blk wiring to this switch is okay.

5. At the unplugged 5P Natural connector, with two spare pieces of wire or two small thin paper clips.

a. Test to see if front passenger window goes up:

• Jump one wire from the terminal no. 2 cavity (Red/Blu wire terminal) to terminal no. 5 cavity (Blu/Red wire terminal).
• Jump a different wire from terminal no. 4 cavity (Red wire terminal) to terminal no. 3 cavity (Blu/Wht wire terminal).

b. Test to see if front passenger window goes down:

• Jump one wire from the terminal no. 2 cavity (Red/Blu wire terminal) to terminal no. 3 cavity (Blu/Wht wire terminal).
• Jump a different wire from terminal no. 4 cavity (Red wire terminal) to terminal no. 5 cavity (Blu/Red wire terminal).

Report your results based on these tests.

tech8,

Thanks, I will do it.

Sorry to necro an old thread but I am wonder how to jump the drivers side power window UP in 2005 CRV. I am pretty sure it is the power switch relay but the window is "stuck" in the down position.

Update: Found the solution on another forum. The window is now up and confirms master switch relay. New one on its way.

"They only tell you how to jump the connector to make the windows go down. But you should be able to jump pin 14 to 7 and pin 6 to 4 to make the window roll up. Make the connections and use the ignition switch to control the window. Just be careful not to roll it up too far. May break things."
