Hi,

I got some issues with my 1994 LX civic coupe.
The problems started a few weeks ago when the powerwindow did go down but not up anymore.

For some strange reason it went up again but today i did it down, stopped and no reaction from it.

Not from the master switch and not from the passenger switch.

Some other thing that is strange is that there is a cable (red with black) going into the car, when i take that cable away the window (left) doesnt work anymore.

When i connect ground and power i can do the windows up and down even without touching the keys but door needs to be closed all the time.
When i disconnect the ground it works when i turn the keys and door closed.

Oh, i made some pics.


Can anyone help me identify the problem?


Oh something else i found out, if i take all the fuses out from the windows it works.

When i take power door lock out, nothing works (windows)

 

You have a short somewhere. You have to find it. Why is the door harness hacked up like that?

Where does the red and black cable go to? Are you driving around with the wires exposed like that? I see a connector just hanging there, bare metal.

 

No the cables i just checked where is going what.
The black cable with red is going into the car to a + cable somewhere.
When i disconnect it from the harnass the window does not go up or down anymore, and when i do not turn my key it doesnt work, so i think its going to a cable that requires the key to be turned.


But thats i found, well i found some other cables that did not look original but i dont know how and what.

 

Is this a botched power window conversion?

 

You need to resplice all that crap and cover it properly. YOu're blowing fuses because there are probably wires crossing and causing all sorts of shorts and issues.

 

Crap wiring is your first problem. Fix that first.

 

A wire that's giving constant power is probably shorting out by touching bare metal...I agree with the other guys: rewire that mess then start your tracing diagnosis...

 

Buy a soldering gun, some soldier, and some heat shrink and fix those wires. There is no way we can even begin to troubleshoot your issue with all that going on.
