[@alexxx9830]

I just installed the driver window cause it wasn’t working but I fixed it now other windows aren’t going down ,any suggestions?

[@redscarfboy]

So... If you're not a car dude, don't have the knowledge to take the panel off, and you already know it's the switch and it's 8:00 p.m. and rain is forecast tonight: how do raise the window?

[@macfady2181]

Before doing anything, just check the fuse.

[@MrRick0707]

You dont have to cut cord if motor don't work. Just remove motor from window regulator and manually raise or lower window as needed with a wrench usually 3/8 drive work

[@erickhoxha5883]

YOU CAN JUST REMOVE THE MOTOR AND THE WINDOW CAN BE PULLED UP FREELY

[@Smittyschannel]

DO NOT cut the cord- only makes for bigger replacement issues

[@griffinthe4424]

Can you come fix my window please? I’m located in Columbia south caroljna

[@dominiqueh6287]

Thank you for explaining all the possible problems, now I feel ready to try to fix my windows.

[@truckerron]

1:30 to 1:50 was not clear and have no idea what you did.

[@Jlragent]

THANK YOU! I've been looking for this all day. Cut the cord. THANK YOU! Seriously everything else assumes the motor works or the window is already up. THANK YOU!

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching!

[@nancybthescratcher6327]

Great job

[@LightningDogg]

What if the driver door master switch AND the rear door switch both lower the window, but neither will raise the window? It's highly unlikely that both switches went bad at the same time.

[@TupacChakutec]

Great video. My window goes down but not up. And i will try all youve mentioned. Thanks! Subscribed!

[@19440116]

Thank you! I have the same problem on my Honda Civic Hybrid VIII: the window just goes down and not up! I procured a new window regulator and it had the sam problem. Now I will procure a new window switch. But my problem is: why, also from the driver side, it is not possible to raise the window? Is there some circuit trick inside the righ side switch that doesn't premit the motor to turn in the oposite direction?

[@chevar2801]

I have a 2006 Honda Civic and I tested the switch with the back window switch. It is doing the same thing. I switched the passenger front switch to the rear passenger side door and it worked both up and down. However, when I used the back passenger side door switch on my front passenger door it did not go down. I know it’s not a motor problem because I ordered another motor and window regulator assembly, and the same problem exists.

[@cydelorean]

Great videos from A1. For this problem, I wish he would've started with how to remove the door panel, I am pretty novice at this. I'll search for a video on how to do that and then proceed to watch and learn from this one. 👌

[@193322009]

If all of us automotive drivers would send letters to the manufacturers and tell them we want all metal parts in the window regulators and not cheap crappy plastic parts, maybe our constant problems with these crappy designed systems might improve. I've had 3 replacements in the last two years and had to spend quite a lot of money on repairs!

[@elongatedmusk3132]

Nice thought but then greedy folks will.just say "that's how we keep the prices affordable" as if they don't charge too much already. Imagine if they did use quality...they'd cost twice as much (although it would be nice for an after market part supplier & manufacturer to make high quality replacements so we can buy 1 replacement part 1 time fix it once then be done for the life of the car) so good theory but fact of the matter, I think, is they just don't even care smh which is why they use special screws, bolts, fittings & other annoying stuff to make us take it to the dealership...or trust a shady mechanic or stress ourselves out in hopes we cause further damage. Good luck

[@wooster1414]

This guy is like safety Steve got his knee pads on to tell us about window motors lol I think safety is important but this much safety just screams overkill.

[@alchaves7216]

Some of us oldie foggies need knee pads everytime we use our knees. Comes from all the construction jobs.

[@amandadimas1025]

Not very detailed on what to use to make window go up.

[@husseinsaad1381]

Powerprobe

[@AdoptThisDog]

2005 T & C. Window stuck down. Switches indicate power is going to motors on both sides, but window does not raise so I don't think it's the motor or the switch (driver's side). I really don't want to cut the wire... ideas please??

[@raymondperez3553]

Could We Use A Silicone Spray In The Window Tracks Temporary Until We Are Able To Get it Fixed or Replaced?.. is it Safe?..

[@jerrodtyson6863]

I have a 2016 dodge grand caravan and the driver side window switch , the lock and unlock isn’t working. It does roll down the passenger side. What could be wrong.

[@Diazsamuel9188]

3:20 the blue connector. The one that goes to the motor. I have a 2006 Ridgeline I tried to see if it had any power I end ground and it doesn’t have any of that. I checked all the fuses and they’re all good. can you help me out? I’m not sure what it is.

[@SsSpeedySpice]

Checked fuse, buyed a new window regulator motor lucky I didn't fit it I just electric test it and does the same thing just goes down nd never up from either driver or passenger side.

[@usastrong8088]

Why does everyone have the duke dynasty beards now adays ... everybody copyed them ..... aint no woman want a guy with a big ass beard licking that lady flower .. Just saying 😂😂😂😂😂 great video ..

[@atxplerma]

HELP!!! How about the passenger front window can roll it down but not up, on the driver's controls, but on the passenger door it works correctly. HELP!!

[@lancelawrence1971]

I have a 2011 hyundai genesis coupe and the driver side window regulator won't go up. How do I get the window up to remove it? I have a new regulator, but I can not get the window out nor the regulator panel out because it's attached to the window.

[@zurdoremi]

I have done all that troubleshooting and the window keeps working but intermittently, one moment it does, one moment it does not. I removed the motor, responds fine forward and reverse. I moved the glass up and down without motor, moves smoothly. As soon as I bolt the motor it works a few times and then stops responding. I replaced the switch, same thing. And of course the only thing I have not replaced is the regulator pantograph because nobody has it new.

[@biff2k2]

My window goes up but stops half way and if you pull up on the window the motor will start again. I feel it’s the motor but think maybe it’s the regulator binding up or something.

[@shyguy740]

Rather than cutting the regulator wire cable, I would disconnect the motor from the refulator gear and turn the regulator gear with a pair of needle nose pliers. That way, you would save almost 100 bucks not replacing the window regulator.

[@king-yr2hc]

I know I'm a little thick in cars but not sure why there wasn't a fuse already not there especially as the glass window in the drivers window works fine so go finger.

[@victorvivar324]

I can hear a clicking noise when I press down or up on the window switch but it doesn’t go anywhere. Would that be the motor or the regulator?

[@macfady2181]

Regulator

My passenger window wouldn’t roll up on my Lexus 350. I just put the back window, (known working) switch on my passenger window and BOOM! It works. My switch was bad. Saved me money…yay! Thank you for this video.

[@PureSwank]

Yeah but what if the window won't go up AT ALL and is stuck at the very lowest position?

[@johntownsend8423]

If both the driver switch and the passenger switch doesn't that warrant a motor diagnosis?

[@noahmungcal4518]

i tried pulling up my window but it goes down instead when it when down it stopped working up and or down. what could be the problem? would it be my regulator assembly?

[@melisahamling4347]

Ok so if it's the switch, why won't the window go up using the driver side switch?

[@fredypedroza6000]

What if we don’t have a power probe? Is there any other way to check if motor is working? My switch will not move window up or down but I don’t know if it faulty because I don’t know how to check if power is running to the motor

[@manuelvega8096]

Did u find a solution I’m in the same situation can’t get window up n no power probe

[@macfady2181]

A little late now but I'll post for others. If the middle windows work but the fronts wont move using the drivers side controls, and the power mirrors don't work (if equipped) there is a high probability it is just the 10A M26 fuse. I'd suggest 1st step regardless would be swapping the horn fuse with the M26 and seeing if that works. Don't just go by visual fuse inspection. In terms of the motor, you can apply power directly from the battery to the motor to see if it works.

[@ohstevoh]

So you either need a specialized tool or you need to cut a cable and fuck the door up more. Cool.

[@therush2049]

What would you do if even after replacing the switch or verifying it worked the window still would not go up

[@reytjerey7733]

How to fix broken motor that is stuck down? Help me please

[@robertdonnelly1409]

My passenger window goes up but not down think it mae be an earthing problem

[@brittsbit770]

Also,tap on the switch that's not working. They wear out,or get dirty and wet. If you tap as you are trying to roll it up,it may ingage. In my case it did. Thanks

[@troycollins6654]

What tool you used for the red wire

[@DeeDee-rx3cb]

If all the wiring and motor is good and still doesn't work, on some cars you have to reprogram pcm or bcm to get it to work again. Some switches aren't connected directly to power but through some module first.

[@1AAuto]

+Dee Dee Thanks for the feedback!

[@carolbaer168]

How do you get the inside door panel off

[@macfady2181]

One screw by door lever, one screw by door handle (remove little cover). Otherwise just held on with plastic clips.

[@srairmand]

Mine was a 40 amp fuse when it should have been 30..fixed that and voila! Working again.

[@macfady2181]

I read previously the drivers side switch controls the signal to passenger side, so start there. Did you try changing M26 fuse?

My window will not go down without getting stuck. It will go down an inch but when the window is off the regulator or whatever then the regulatot or the lifter works fine. Any ideas what's wrong with it? It's a Ford f150 2001 XLT. It acts like the window hits something preventing it from going down like it should.

[@robertjimenez2986]

POWER PROB (12v contact ?)- My I ask going into your example between 1-2min mark you added "ground wire" got it....then a power probe. My 1st question ..if you set-up backwards will that damage the motor? 2nd question .. if without a power probe can you run a wire with 12Volts to that post (is it 12volts ?)? That is motor connector is #1-ground and the other post is #2-12volts. In other words that power probe is basically running 12volts to that other connector on the motor. I know my motor works because mechanic added "Cordless Tool Battery Pack" ran wires from the pack to that motor connector and window went up. He didn't know I was watching I looked away, then he said to me he would close the window in up position for $70 because he didn't have parts (switch). I have 1993 Isuzu Rodeo just forced into retirement last year with no income (social security soon). Most Grateful ..

+Mike Chahal Thanks for watching! If it's not responding to either switch then the issue is probably going to be with the motor, regulator or wiring. A popular way to go is to replace the motor and regulator assembly as you cover almost all bases.

Was there a specific reason why you chose not to use the built-in ground system? Thx much

I've replaced the motor and regulator, also replaced the switch itself. It still doesn't work. The car is on its last legs, I don't want to bring it to the mechanic for something like this. Where do I go from here, in terms of diagnosing what's wrong with it? I've also checked all the fuses and replays and they are all fine. The window just stopped working one day so I decided to changed the motor and regulator. Still didn't work so I replaced the switches. Still didn't work so I replaced all fuses and relays. Still doesn't work. I'm lost now. 😢
