Acura Windows Wont Roll Down! How to Reset Windows in a 2005 Acura RL (Honda)

Acura RL Window Fix
Faulty windows in a 2005 Acura RL. A common problem after changing your battery.
You lose control of your windows from the master control switch from the drivers seat. Heres a quick way to fix it!

[@aaronmobley3482]

It worked on my 2006 RL the rears weren’t working with the main front switch and this fixed it thank you!

[@mr.hondamods]

That's great and your very welcome 👍

[@markmichon7383]

Thought I was going to have to go to the dealership and instead watched your video and fixed my window issue in 30 seconds - a pretty good in investment in time. Thanks.

[@onorato49]

Mark Michon same here man I was like bulllshit it’s a short vid and nope went down and up held em and boom pow thanks man

[@mr.hondamods]

Thanks the video was meant to show owners how user friendly this procedure is. Definitely a big money saver compared to having a dealer do it. I couldn’t believe how easy it was either when I first did it. Glad this video helped!

[@youronestopaffiliateshop]

Thanks bro, I thought it was my switch and brought a new one but was glad I found your video and saved myself a trip to the mechanic and having to pay even more to just replace a perfectly good window switch

[@sherrijensen6842]

2009 Acura MDX I had a dead battery got a jump, then my front pass window would not work from the drivers side, BUT still worked on the passenger side, So I started looking on KZbin, & I found you. My window now "works again" from the drivers side! "THANK YOU" SO MUCH!!! :)

[@Monkeybizness707]

Nah son, luxury is not having to constantly fix every single malfunctioning gimmick Honda put in this damn car...

[@LexCoop5]

For the driver's side I had to do the same thing on all three of the working windows to reset my 2007 Acura RL. Thanks so much for this tip dude! You definitely saved me some $$$$$ 😊

[@roberthiggins2252]

Thanks, I wondered why my windows stopped working. I thought the mechanic messed it up awhile back. I can't believe that actually worked! You rock👍😎

[@bodcillano7605]

It works. I was going to open the door panel for troubleshooting but your video saved my time. Thank you!

[@mr.hondamods]

Bodcillano Good to hear comments like this. Glad everything worked out for you! If this video helps only a few RL owners, I’ve done my job!

[@claude7473]

EXCELLENT !!! one thousand Thanks !!! after checking and rechecking fuses for continuity I found your video !!! The dealer changed the Alternator and forgot to reset the windows. THANKS !!!

[@mr.hondamods]

Nice love hearing these stories. Thanks for sharing. I make these videos because of how lackluster dealership performance can be lol.

[@juliogarcia7553]

Great advice! I have an 08 MDX and the passenger side window was not responding to the driver side control. I did exactly what you said in the video and it worked!. Great job and thanks man! Oh and by the way I did lose battery power recently and had to get a jumpstart so that may have been it. What is odd is that the driver side controlled both rear side windows. Thanks again

[@jessebob325]

I just used this info to fix this exact problem in a 2009 Honda Legend, right hand drive, here in the UK 🇬🇧. Cheers!

[@violinforever]

Thanks for the tip. I seem to have a similar problem with my 2011 MDX, after a shopping trip the windows were half open suddenly and then they won't roll up and the moon roof seemed stuck. Reset the windows with the key fab and everything seems good now. Will have to check the battery next. Also wanted to mention that I had to replace the driver door subharness when the windows, mirrors, and moon roof died all together.

[@lawrencegorman4872]

Perfect!!!! Thanks. Dealer told me it would take 90 MINUTES!!

[@morenoclint]

Bad ass man. Totally worked for my rear windows!

[@mr.hondamods]

Love to see it!

[@dougbrown992]

WOW! Can't believe it was such a simple fix! Worked on my 2008 RL. Thanks!

[@mr.hondamods]

Doug Brown welcome bud!

[@JohnStax98]

Lifesaver! Thank you so much!

[@sammysam9560]

well my windows wont go down period. I tried all the door switches and still nothing.

[@RighteousRay]

What about the driver window how do u fix it

[@dariqramad8825]

Awesome, thank you so much. You saved me time and money!

[@marcnuyda575]

Worked like a charm on my 2005 RL. Rear windows and passenger side window were not working before. Thanks.

[@kadoalbrehi1650]

Nice video. That's a very common issue, same with Honda, but I believe it and even nissan. But nissan has a little different set up

[@tippersteffi1]

Thank you just fixed my 2007 RL with this video 👍🏻

[@ladyt4u66]

Omg I can’t explain I bought my car had it 4 yes and it never worked till today I tried this and it worked omg I can’t thank you enough this is so amazing. Thank you so much!!

[@CJN2930]

Wow!!! I thought I had to get a new motor for my driver side !!! Thanks man!

[@kimberlincacapit6796]

Thank you for the solution I was having the same problem for my 2008 MDX and it worked.

[@mr.hondamods]

Your welcome! Glad it worked for you.

[@andrewtoland1217]

Passenger window would not work on driver control. Windows would not go down with fob or key in door. Following this video holding passenger window control button down fixed it. 2014 MDX. Thanks.

[@amystansberry7636]

Thank you very much your video helped me fix mine I just replaced the alternator and the battery yesterday so I’m guessing that’s why the back windows played dummy with me

[@acs4872]

You "eFen" Rock!!!! I have an Acura RDX 2013 model and this worked. Thank you!

[@mr.hondamods]

Happy it worked!!!

[@michaeldehoyosjr5366]

BRO!!! You saved my life!!! seriously that 'ish worked on my MDX 2011, thought I was gonna have to take it to the dealer...Thanks allot!

[@troyjones9255]

That’s crazy was about to buy a front window motor unit. Thanks

[@JudahTelesford]

You can also reset the master window switch through the alarm remote. Use the alarm remote to bring all the windows down simultaneously. This will bring the window control back to the driver side.

[@CryptoJunkie]

Judah Telesford how do you bring the windows down with the alarm remote?

[@seymourbutz6951]

Man thanks so much this helped me with my 2009 after i let my battery die. Not the first video of yours to help me !

[@mr.hondamods]

Glad everything worked out for you and appreciate that comment, good to know these silly videos helped so many people. Keep it up brother!

NICE BRO WORKS WITH The 07 Acura dmx u save my money lol

[@anthonygray159]

Patriots all the way

[@ghostfacekilla16]

Thanks, man. Honestly, this video could have probably been trimmed way down, but the solution was in here as I'd already replaced the battery in my 06 RL. Of course the car throws a fit when she's shown love, ridiculous. Anyways, I got it working again thanks to you, so thank you, champ!

[@smoke0ne209]

Actually worked on my 05 tl driver window thanks man

[@karencarson2283]

Hysterical use of the F word. Very entertaining. Unfortunately, this was not my problem.

[@DGYtown]

My battery 🪫 died and I will try this tomorrow when my wife gets home with the vehicle. Thanks. My top clock display will intermittently not work. Do you have any suggestions for that fix

[@matthewcarter5746]

Had the same issue with my sub-dash. Intermittent failure is caused by a faulty circuit board, best thing you can do is buy a new one online, or send it out for repairs. You can find them for around $80 online, or for $20 at your local junkyard. To replace, just carefully pry up on the center speaker/sub-dash, and disconnect the wire harness.

[@johnpali5894]

What a great video. 👍

[@miranchitos7645]

Thank you ! It fixed my Acura MDX 👍🏻

[@AirforceBlackBird]

Thank you for the video, my rl 2002 is fixed.

[@ezeddie32]

Thanks for the video. Do you know how to take the navi out of in line diagnostic mode? Might this also be related to weak battery?

[@kevinhipps8136]

I am having that problem thanks in advance i cant wait till morning to try it

[@ladyt4u66]

I comment on wrong one I mean the moonroof one is the one I’m talking about. Thanks again.

[@DigitalLoom]

[@kevinhipps8136]

Do you have a solution for opening all the windows and sunroof with the fob?

[@kb1Legendflaco]

Hell yea! It worked for me:)

[@mr.hondamods]

tom f thanks man happy to help

[@tomf1028]

@@mr.hondamods Have you had any battery drain issue with your car or hear of it with other RL's? Mine sat 7 days while I was on vacation & came back to dead battery, couldn't even unlock the door. This was 3 weeks ago. Since then it died last Monday & today but I could unlock it at least. I think it might be the hands free Link or bluetooth unit, in passenger side kick panel, so I just disconnected mine tonight after watching some videos on here & reading on Acurazine. It actually felt warm to the touch, car been sitting for 5 hours. I got a new battery today from Auto Zone. The old one that I took out was just put in last Nov, according to CarFax, but only lasted 9 months, with a 100-month warranty label on it. I've only had the car 5 months. Last owner also did the alternator last October. So that tells me they were possibly having the same issue as I am, since they replaced those 2 parts within 30 days of each other. Anyways, hoping that the disconnected Bluetooth part will let the new battery live long. It's stronger than the last one & 5 yr warranty. 🤞

[@RajSingh-ls8kd]

Doesn't work with a driver side that does not go down. But works with the others. I might have a bad switch. Thanks for the info still.

[@willbekabbin]

Thank you , if you can make one for now sound it will be great.

[@prasantht6910]

IT WORKED ON MY 2015 ACURA TLX ☺🥳😃

[@justincredible520]

You are a boss. Thank you very much👊

[@justincredible520]

Do you have any other tricks and tips for this RL? my rear motor mount is broke and it looks like it is gonna be hard to fix. Also, if you know of any cool shit i can do to my engine to make it better, holler

[@abelromanj]

Thanks you so much! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@anaje1223]

This helped thanks

[@splashi8]

Hope this work on my 08 Acura mdx

[@2rellt.v.846]

Thats pretty cool just had to do this to my RL this morning

[@mr.hondamods]

Joshua Tyrell yeah pretty easy

[@iwanttobelieve9086]

What to do if only the front window won't operate - at all? It's a 2005 Acura TL.

[@freddyacosta2358]

On my 2005 TL the driver window was not working on auto. I had my window up, rolled it down and holding the button down for like 3-4 seconds and now the auto works.

[@mr.hondamods]

Good to know it works on the TLs. Thanks for sharing man.

[@princetheshooter]

oneeee, maybe 2 seconds 😂😂

[@miguelrugilio4789]

Funcionó en MDX 2009. Gracias

[@oscarelias5802]

[@quietstormssvereen6582]

I have a light on that reads ...CHECK SH-AWD SYSTEM. Is there some type of routine maintenance for this or notification of a common problem to be addressed?

[@xMarkuzx]

Thanks bro

[@alwatson2208]

Omg! Thank you!!👍🏾👍🏾

[@TheDanielTruong]

So the only window that doesn’t work for me is the driver side. Everyone once it a while it will work, but now it won’t go up or down. Could it be the switch?

[@mr.hondamods]

Faulty switch or bad relay but try resetting the window first. It doesn't hurt to try and best of all its free.

[@TheChubbyGuppy]

Most likely door wire harness!

[@kallicharranroye2873]

How you do the front driver side window

[@mr.hondamods]

Kallicharran Roye It is the same process as the rear windows! Hope this helps.

[@zacharyparis]

totes worked.

[@OneDanae]

Thanks for the tip cutie... ;-)

[@wxvy.slidez]

Thank you yes it works didnt need to change battery tho 😝😝

[@mr.hondamods]

Hahahahah yeah your right! You don't need to change the battery. What I was saying is that AFTER I changed the battery, the Acura RL started to have these window issues! Glad it was an easy fix for you.

[@lilsnoop101]

What if you can’t roll down the back windows at all?

[@princetheshooter]

🤯🔥

[@elvin1677]

What about when you try putting all the windows down with your key in the driver door handle. I used to be able but then I took my battery out and put it back in, now it won’t do it.

[@aaronmobley3482]

It says try this and if you have a remote that should work to

[@MoneysWorld82]

My fan isn’t coming on and I noticed I don’t have that fuse relay attached to my battery
