driver window wont go go down
2005 Honda CR-V drivers window wont go down, sudden onset.
All other windows work from master switch.
I replaced the master switch but it did not fix the problem.
Is there a relay I should check, or is regulator replacement the next step?

Re: driver window wont go go down
This happened to me, water got in the master switch shorting it AND the regulator internally.
If I were in your position I would supply power and ground to the regulator and see if it moves. You can either put power through the switch (bypassing it) or take the door panel off and do it directly.
Hope you didn’t blow money on a switch you didn’t need.

Re: driver window wont go go down
Did you already do the switch recall fix?
My window broke twice, the first around 100K miles, it was the regulator.
The second time a pinch weld in the track let loose around 130K. Drilled a hole, put a bolt through it and it worked since. I frequently park on the side of the road and in ditches so the door slams closed a ton and it just didn't hold up internally.

Re: driver window wont go go down
A picture would have been a good idea at the time, that's my bad. This is for an 06, which may be very different than yours but basically what happened was one of the pieces where it crosses is pinch / tack welded together. It was loose and you could hear it in the door. Where the two crossed we drilled a hole and just bolted the two back in place. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful .

Re: driver window wont go go down
It has been a while but if you look in this video around 8 minutes they show the metal guts - I think it is all the regulator part. There are little cross parts on the main metal bar that lead to what I think are bolt mounting points. One of those separated and you could hear the loose parts clunking around in the door.
