So here's the story:
I was driving my gf to class in her 2002 sedan when we noticed a burning smell coming from the passenger side window area after she had rolled down her automatic windows. After I dropped her off, I found that I wasn't able to roll up her window anymore. I began the daunting task of trying to fix the problem.

1st: I checked all the fuses first and found that they were all ok.

2nd: I replaced her window regulator and the window automatically closed by itself without me touching the switch.

3rd: Thinking the switch was bad, I purchased another switch, however I arrived at the same problem, and I am not able to roll down the window.

CLIFFNOTES: As of now, I have fuses under the kick panel which are all fine, a new window regulator, and a new switch installed, however the window WILL NOT roll down.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction as to what I may have missed as far as checking/replacing parts???

Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help me out!

 

Did you check the switch on the driver side?

Did you check the wiring for any melting?

 

i had the EXACT same problem and honda misdiagnosed it. try changing the driver side switch. that's the master switch so it overrides everything. if u changed the passenger side and regulator and that didn't work then try to change the driver side switch. see what happens and hopefully this will spare u money on fixing it. Good luck.

 

Haven't done this yet. Looks like this is going to be my next step. Thank you.

I didn't know the driver was the master switch. Thanks for pointing this out.

 

yup it overrides all switches.. so when it's bad, ur reg switches won't work.

 

change the master switch on the drivers side. should fix your problem.
