hey guys, need a little help. this morning when i started my car, i wanted to roll up my driver side front window and it wouldnt go up. i tested all the other windows and they work fine. i also switched the fuses w/ a couple different locations and it still didnt work. when i hold the button to roll the window up, i dont hear anything at all, no like sounds that sound like the motor is snagged or anything. help me!

 

Take the panel off and look at the motor and all that good stuff. I wouldn't know what to look for once I got it off, but it's a start. I think most Accord windows are renound for sucking ***.

Worse comes to worse get a helms manual and try to work it out.

 

i would start by checking the wires that plug into the switch on driver's side door. if you can, switch one of the other switches that you know works onto the window in question and see if that makes a difference. diagnosis is 90% of repair. at least you might be able to locate the problem. you will have to remove the door panel for this. also, for next time, all of us accord owners should regularly treat our windows with silicone lube spray, i think 3m is the best stuff. it makes a world of difference in keeping the windows rolling smoothly and quickly and will help the motors last longer.

i actually took the car to a shop yesterday and they found out it was the switch on the door panel. it only works going down, not up. so i gotta replace that and im good to go. thanks for the help guys!

 

How much did it cost at the shop, cuz I herd taking off the panel and fixing a lagging window is a pain in the A$$

 

well, they didnt actually fix it, just took it in to see what was wrong and thats what they found. they charged me 100 just to do that! insane prices these days. anyways, that part is 150 and im installing it w/ a friend. shop was gonna charge 210 and another shop wanted 400!

 

It seems all most all Accord windows have this problem,mine included, i have taken the door panel off, and did everything inside of there that one could do. I believe the only solution is a new motor and switch. The thing is which supplier to go too? If any one has this answer, please submit. Just joined the crowd here, looks like a great site.

DUDE!!! you need to utilize the SEARCH FUNCTION....for every person writing the same stupids questions must be driving the Tech Admins nutz....I know I would be going nutz. Tech support/Admin work is like feeding baby food to idiots, trust me I have had to deal with it before.

PLEASE USE SEARCH

 

I DID USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. I always do that before i post a question. and i didnt just search "window motor" either. tried a bunch of different stuff and nothing was useful.

 

hmmm...
