my passenger side window doesnt go down but it goes up..it goes down when i push down on the window and it only goes up from the switch... what could it be? 96 civic ex thanks ht

*EDIT* so peeps can see what the other question is..


ok so i took the motor/regulator out and connected it directly to the battery and i had the same problem..the window only going up and not down..is it possible for the window motor to only work one way??? i just wanted to make sure b4 i buy a new regulator/motor and where would be the best place to buy a window motor or regulator w motor besides majestic honda..

Try spraying silicone spray along the window tracks making sure you move the window up and down during the process. DON'T USE WD-40! Use silicone spray. Solved my slow/non-rolling windows problem!!

 

idk if thats the problem..the window rolls up perfectly fine..but wen i push the button to make the window go down it doesnt at all..like completly dead from both the driverside and passenger switch

 

I have the same problem. But mine will only roll up from the pass. switch, and it won't do anything from the drivers switch. I tested my motor and it is good, and I also replaced the switches (driver and pass.) and I still have the same problem. I'll let you know if I figure it out...

 

My driver window would roll up perfectly but would only roll down half way, but that was due to friction which silicone spray fixed. You're saying that when you push on the down switch, you hear NOTHING? No motor click or ANYTHING? just dead dead dead? If it's dead dead dead, it may be the switch switch switch . . .

 

but theirs 2 switches..1 on the driver side and 1 on the passenger side..how would both go bad at the same time..their not click or any budging wen i push the down switch..

 

anyone know??? and yes when i push the it down with the switch i dont hear anything no click or movement..but if i push it down with my hands and then roll it back up with the switch it goes up perfectly fine

buuummmpp

 

comeee on!!!!! where the master mechanics at!!!!!

 

If it rolls up but doesn't roll down unless you push it down. That really sounds like the window switch. Take the switch out of the door with it still hooked up to the wires and with the key on tap on the back of the switch and or wiggle the wires and see if that makes the window motor work and go down. If it goes down it is the switch. But you are saying that it doesn't go down on either switch correct? If that is the case: On the drivers side door you have a master switch module under the door panel. I believe it is brown or orange in color, it could be that. You would need to test it. Any friends have a integra like you? If so you can switch parts safely to check it. Let me know what happens when you tried all these. I might have more suggestions that require more work. always think of the simple stuff first!

^Good info! I was about to say that all of the window switch signals go through the master switch on the driver's side.

Yes, we don't know in your situation whether the pass. side switch works the window going down. Let us know... If it doesn't sounds like the master switches contact points have gone or a wire was pulled or something.

GL!

 

i have a 96 civic(ignore the s/n)..ive tried testing the switches with a test light only on the passenger side( and it came out good)..wat master module are u talking about on the driverside?? thanks for the info guys..

 

ok so i took the motor/regulator out and connected it directly to the battery and i had the same problem..the window only going up and not down..is it possible for the window motor to only work one way??? i just wanted to make sure b4 i buy a new regulator/motor and where would be the best place to buy a window motor or regulator w motor besides majestic honda..

 

anyone?

 

CALLING ALL MASTER MECHANICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

COME ON!!! PLEase!~

 

pleaseee i beegg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

check continuity on the wires. maybe one is shorting out and thats why it works one way. also what about the window relay? could somehow half of it be bad? no one mentioned the relay, so i thought i would throw that up. and check the fuses while your there. just to say you did.

if the switches work in another car, you then know they are not defecive. same with the motor. wire it to another car and see if it works with your switches and their wires. if so, it would lead me to say its a harness problem.

 

i took the motor out and connect it directly to the battery and the motor only haD juice going up and not down...so does that mean its the motor and not anythign else?

 

motor is bad

 

Yes the motor/regulator is bad. I probably do this job on civic's/aacord's 20 times a year since I buy so many of them. Look on Ebay for the motor/regulator, make sure the part you buy if for both though. I have been buying them on ebay for years and they work great and you save big $ compared to an OEM one.

 

thanks alot dude!!! great info from everyone!
