Default 5th gen window motor question

Hey my rear passenger window wont go up. All the other windows work, there is no noise coming from the rear passenger motor. I dont have an amp meter so dont know if current is going thru. I'm guessing the motor is bad: 1. the regulator still works. 2. no noise is coming from the motor in question at all.

anyway i can mechanically roll the windows up until i can go to the junkyard and get a new motor? oh yeah i am in the process of removing the front passenger motor and sticking it into the rear pass window to move it up if nothing else....but i am rethiniing that part...too much trouble to d/c and then r/c the cables. i took the panels off so far.

i've already done a search.

instead of removing the "good" window motor to swap with the bad one - why not just disconnect the good one and run wires to the other side and power it up closed, then disconnect and button everything up until you can get a good replacement?

just wondering, are the rear window motors identical to the fronts? are they interchangeable?

I dont see how much cabling that would actually require to pull off that feat...not that I have any lieing around.

Take some silicon lubricant and spray it on a q-tip. Run the q-tip along the tracks of the window a couple times. Also when you crack open the door, spray some silicon lubricant in the actual window guide, this will help a lot as far as smoothness and operation

Default Re: (VRDrvr) - Power Window and Lock problems

I have a 5th Gen. Accord (1995 LX) and am having a problem with my windows as well. They go up very slow and sometimes they wont go at all. After I turn my car off and on again they sometimes begin to work.

I am having a problem with the power locks as well. I don't know if these two are related but if anyone has had any similar problems some advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got a '94 sedan with pretty much the same problems. I think it's the main window control that's not workin (on the driver's window).

Well it seems to be a problem with all my windows. I know the rear windows motors can't be bad because I barely use those. However, both the driver and passenger side windows seem to be slow and then sometimes just not work.

I am still confused about the power locks going out as well. Any chance this is a related problem?

I have not tried swapping the rear motors to the front because I don't think its necessarily a motor problem because now none of my windows work. I cannot open any windows from any location.

Also my power locks do not work.

Any help? or am I going to have to dish out to a mechanic or dealer?

Try not to jack someones thread, make your own .

As far as your problem goes, it sounds like a switch problem. Have you tried to roll down the window using another window control or is it all of them?
