Do you own a multimeter? You should perform voltage tests because the number of potential failures is too great for anyone to guess.

I do, imma check the connector to the motor to see if it's getting power. does anyone know if that would be battery voltage or what?

Is the problem with the main switch or on the doors themselves? I had problems with my driver side window switch. The window went down but not back up. I found that the switch failed and just replaced with another one.

The drivers side switch and the switch for each side of the doors don't work. which leads me to believe the problem lies in wiring.

Did you try to clean the leads? Try getting a different set of switches. My driver side had a bad switch. I replaced it and it worked.

I'm experiencing the same problem on my '94 Accord Sedan which is the passenger rear window. It doesn't work anymore. I got one from the JY and installed it and still didn't work. I have power to the connector from the harness side where you plug in the window motor regulator but still doesn't work either.

I'm a little puzzled and hasn't got to it yet as I've been busy. I heard there's fusible link inside the motor??? Not sure though.

It could also be the regulator itself. To be on the safe side, if you can get a dummy connector from the junkyard and use a battery for power to test regulator. I used to work in a auto plant and that's how we tested the regulator before connecting the main wire harness. That's all I can think of. I'm not familiar with voltage testers or multimeters. Good luck.

Yes, to test if the part itself work is to give it power and ground. Thats one way to make sure if it works or not.

I checked the fuses and I got the back passenger one to work, but no luck with the driver's passenger. im going to the junk yard tomorrow so I'll pick up a clip and test the regulator. Anyone know which color cable is power and which one is ground? they're bothe blue...

How is it you worked in an "auto plant" and not know what a multimeter is?

I'm not being sarcastic to offend you I'm seriously asking the question.

To make the window motor change direction you reverse the polarity of the electrical voltage.

Phoot, I know what a multimeter is, I just don't know how to use it. As for polarity, we flip the battery to go down. Yes I did work for GM and Toyota in California. I'm in no way offended. I'm not an electrician. I'm just average joe that worked in manufacturing. If you ask about a Toyota Corolla or Pontiac Vibe part, I most likely know where it belongs on the cars.

It's all good. Just trying to help out since you helped me out. I will tell you this. In case you haven't noticed, but Honda, Toyota, and most of the auto industry have been shortening the lives of their products. My Corolla has rubber weatherstrips that are always shrinking. On the 96 accord, it's solid. Just saying.

This is true.

The nature of the world market and competition is causing this. To actually turn a profit and sell these highly advanced cars they cut corners on quality and durability. It's shameful. I think in the end they will find that it was the wrong approach. The automakers should have focused more on quality and durability and marketed the vechiles appropriately. They would have had no problem selling them.

To the OP, have you been able to test the window regulator?
