1996 accord lx coupe. drivers side window went down, but won't go up. ok, i did a search, i know it's likely a bad switch.

how do i get the window back up until i can get a new switch??

tia!!

 

anyone?

 

I am having the exact same problem w/ my '95 Accord LX .. .you figure it out?

 

Bypass the switch. Apply direct power to the window.

Same problem, went to dealer said it was a window motor (i smell a filthy stinking lie) and would cost about 500$

went to auto zone said it would be like 50$ for a new one

bought fuses for 60 cents and replaced them

that did the trick for a few months but now it died agian

i can usualy coax them into rolling up but not this time

any advice is welcome

 

its your switch...its a common problem on 5th gen accords....new ones will run you around $100+ from honda...so try to get one from a junk yard or from someone on HT parting out their car

Your problem sounds like a relay starting to bad, not an expert on this but thought I read about a guy having the same problem and replacing the relay fixed it. The motors do grow old as well and that can add resistance that will blow fuses.


For the original poster, like he said just bypass the wiring straight to the motor to get it up

 

yea that sounds right most people said it was the swich but that cant be right
