Default 98 Accord: All 3 passenger windows won't go down!

Hi everyone. I have a 98 Accord, and the driver side window is the only one that is working. None of the other 3 will work, either on their own switches or with the drivers switches. Any ideas? How do I pull the switch unit out?

There is a screw in the bottom of the drivers door.. Where you would pull the door closed.. Take that screw out and the you will be able to lift up slightly and pull backwards and then you can disconect the wires for your "master" switch and the PWR mirrors.. When my windows stop workin I always take out the master switch and take it apart and clean the connectors and it works just fine again.. The switchs on the passenger doors will not function if the master switch isnt working properly..

Did all of the windows stop working at the same time??

Yes- all at once.

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm having a hard time understanding though...it sounds like you're saying how to disconnect the wires without removing the door panel, which seems like I wouldn't be able to reconnect them. Or, is removing that screw just how to get the door panel off? By bottom of the door, do you mean the part facing the ground on the edge, or part of the interior door panel?

So, I need to remove the switches and clean them? How do I just get the window switches out?

Thanks

Im talking about the screw in the acc panel that has the switchs on it.. Its one screw no need to take off the whole panel.. That plastic part that holds your switchs is a seperate piece from the panel..

This may sound very noob but is the window lock engaged? I usually have mine locked at only the driver side window locks.

Try resetting the multiplexer first.

The procedure to reset the multiplex unit is as follows.

1. Key in off position
2. Place wiper switch to intermittent
3. Place timer **** to the middle of dial.
4. Turn key to on position.
