okay so lets see the window rows up and down on the passenger doors BUT ONLY when the door is wide open and if you lock the door from the driver side the passenger side doesnt lock but the driver side does btw

and on the driver side it works it can roll down all the windows

1996 4 door civic

thanks HT in advance

 

Where the wire harness passes from the door to the cabin is a common location for broken wires.

 

more than you know lol. my 96 had been in an accident before i got it and every wire in the driverside door harness was severed

 

i mean thats what i thought at first RonJ@HT and d16sihatch the car has a clean title my girl got it for 1500 i just flushed her radiator today she over heated and the radiator was cold the reservoir had dirt n all so i cleaned that out hahas its okay tho at least i have a car to work on now??

and RonJ@HT how am i gonna fix that just take off the door panel and take a look at it??

thanks guys for the quick responses

 

If you take off the fender you can get to the wires pretty easily i have the same problem in my 98 coupe you just have to look close because the insulation may not be bad if a wire has a really bad kink or anything check it and you can check online for the wire colors

 

okay thankyou can anyone send me a link??

 

Wreck or not the wires could be broken inside of the door hinge area within the harness.

I don't know why, but I see this more on 96-00 Civics than any other model at my shop.

 

interesting. didn't realize the problem was a common one. i assumed my issues were entirely related to the cut wires but i'm not sure. the individual wires themselves are kind of loose within the connector in the door, and i'm not sure really how to better secure them. (hot glue?) i've soldered and heatshrunk each wire that had been severed and still i can't move the pass window or lock from the driver side controls. the window worked intermittently but after fixing each wire it now doesn't work at all. the speaker doesn't cut out anymore that's about the only positive of all my effort lol. sucks that you have to remove the bumper, sideskirt, and fender just to gain access to the harness.

 

idk i was just gonna buy like wire from pride home center or wal mart and just re run the whole thing can somebody send me a link to the wire diagram thing?

 

try the driver side also they can just break you dont have to be in a accident over time with the door moving alot i can be hard to keep the nice.

 

the driver side works perfectly exept the back driver side window but the old owner said the motor was out
