This is got to be the most informative TH-cam video I have watched on anything this guy is awesome he's very well spoken you can understand what he says he goes into somewhat of a detail but doesn't get sidetracked it was just an awesome awesome video and helped me a lot thank you so much
You get a like and subscribe. I just changed my window regulator assembly and found my window still was not working. While watching your video you talked about how to test the window regulator, and that lead to my solution. Thank you.
Great video bro. You did an amazing job explaining the testing, troubleshooting and multimeter use. It's a great service that you provided for the person who lost their job.
Thanks for the excellent description - I’ve very little knowledge of electronics but you broke it down in a very easy-to-understand way and also no filler/chatter. One of the most helpful repair videos I’ve seen.
Thank you for the information! You seem like a straight up honest guy! You explained things very thoroughly! You've helped me considerably! Have a Blessed day my friend! GOD BLESS YOU!! 😊🙏🏻❤️📖🙌
At min 7:24 when you applied power to those two terminals *if the relay is normay closed type (NC type)* you short the relay because there's continuity between those two prongs when the relay's not powered... those two prongs are terminal 30 and terminal 87 that connect to the *controlled circuit or load* and usually you can tell because they're wider prongs....the other two prongs are terminal 85 and terminal 86 and they bring the ground and positive (control signal) to the relay...
men. i haven't been 20" into the video and i already felt like i needed to thank you for your help. So thank you for a good explanation who this things work.
Fyi, replacing the regulator is not difficult--plenty of videos on it. You can also just replace the regulator motor (just removing screws and a connector) to make it an even cheaper fix. Thanks for a very clear and concise video!
@@DixT1 Yes, pretty much. It’s pretty obvious which one it is as it’ll be attached to the window regulator in the door. Easy to replace and a lot cheaper than than buying the full window regulator (~$50 vs $175).
@@Kalanimauimusic Thanks! I wondered if it was just the motor, since the regulator needs the motor in order to operate! I changed the master switch on the driver door and got all my windows to work---except the front passenger door! The fuses and relay are fine, also. I should be able to do this myself. (I haven't worked on my own vehicles for about 25-30 years now. I'm 74 now and just don't want to pay what a mechanic's shop wants, to do it!)
@@DixT1 It’ll be apparent if the motor is working or not if you remove the door panel and observe it as you engage the window switch. On my Jeep it was just a cheap, plastic retaining clip that broke, $6.29 to fix! On another car, I took apart the motor itself (just screws) and discovered corrosion inside which I cleaned; still working til this day! You can definitely fix your power window yourself (especially with TH-cam)!
Here's a good one: ran your tests and discovered that there is no current at fuse! (fuse ok) Ran 12v through fuse (load side) receptacle and everything works.
bless ya for helpin folks, i did a lot of love offerings when i did homework outside the shop for workin folks, that couldn t afford the barrel at the dealer
My research has just begun. I have a 2002 Buick Park Avenue. I believe my fuses are under the back seat. Perhaps, I will find a video more specific for that Buick? I subscribed! Thanks for the video.
Easier to swap a potential bad relay with a good one that is similar than trying to test it. If it works, then relay is bad. Thanks for the other hints.
Yah- - After Hour 3 trying to do the window regulator on my Toyota Solara, and was shop baited by online prices that were 1/3 of the actual price, and because now the price is three digits instead of 1/3 of that, going to test the switch with a multimeter. While I am sure it's the motor, it is an expensive gas so I want to make sure that it is the motor.
Great video! My left rear power window gradually stop working... is it possible to stop working that way with fuse problem? it's not window regulator/motor, not switch, not mail switch... (I'm asking you here because I'm away from my car at this point). Thank you in advance for your advice!
Repairs involving trim are the bane of many, but if you take your time and see how everything is put together, how the manufacturer/designer thought, then it is easy and actually interesting. Thanks for this clip, imagine someone out of pocket stuck with a dead, open window and the weather is closing in. Few tools are needed for this repair, even just a test light and 12v battery.
That's me right now haha. Open passenger side window that won't go up and I live in a tropical climate and right now it's wet season haha. I'm very and I mean VERY unhandy but I'm going to do my best to work out why it's not going up as if I take it to a mechanic in town I'll get ripped off. You're so right about just take your time and don't stress about it. Eventually you'll work out what the problem is thanks to TH-cam.
Me with the PW relay in my hand but can’t test it? Only driver window works but auto works too. Tried switched relays … to be continued don’t want my disabled placard to be stolen!
A test light can ruin switches. They are designed for sensitivity to low voltage and current and are not always protected from higher voltage or current. An incandescent tester can spike a 1 amp current as it makes a connection.
My driver window switch stopped working and cant find a replacement OEM switch so I bought a universal switch and relocate it to next to mirror switch on dashboard and used some old speaker wire that I had laying around but now the motor only clicks wanting to go up or down but when I connect the motor straight to power with the factory wires it goes up and when I the wires it goes down, so could it be that the wire that I used is too thin
Good clear video, my honda 2001 hrv has one fuse front windows one for each rear, front windows work rear not work fuses look ok for them could it be relay or only one relay for all windows?
Hi I have a question I have a 2013 Lincoln MKT sometimes the front passenger door switch doesn’t work and sometimes it does sometimes the front driver master switch for that right passenger door doesn’t work and sometimes it does
Thanks a lot for share your knowledge in this matter ! the driver's window of my Skoda suddenly stop working. In the garage changed the switch and the fuse and bingo! worked for once. The next day, when I turned on the auto, the front windows were frozen again. Doesn't open at all :-( Maybe is the relay? (I'm going to try it). Again thank you for your time and explanation!
I have a 2016 Mustang conv. Passenger door window works fine up and down. But the drivers door switch to operate the passenger window only goes down. Even when I lift it up if the window is up. The switch for the drivers door window works fine for the driver side window. I had a new switch installed on the drivers door but same problem. Any ideas?
Awesome info, I have a Nissan Maxima Qx VQ2000, my central lock does not lock one rear door even when I lock with the key. What should I check and test to fix the problem? Thanks
I have a 1994 Honda del sol and my driver side window does not work, I’ve changed out the motor, cleaned out harnesses, looked at fuses and relay and controller, I still can’t get it to work, I’ve run out of ideas. Please help
If the passenger window rolls down with the switch, but not up, but it will go up with the driver side passenger window control, is it a safe bet that is the switch that's the problem?
1999 Honda Accord EX front passenger power window doesn’t work but if I turn on my heater and heat up feet position for a minute the power window start working. Then stop when it gets cold. Pls help
Isn't there a way to tell if it's the fuse vs switch vs relay quicker than checking the fuse? If the window goes up with the switch, but not down, it's not going to be the fuse, it's going to be the switch. If the window doesn't go up or down, it's likely the relay or the fuse. Also, there would be a troubleshooting step in whether the master window switch works vs the switch on the door itself. Often if one doesn't work the other does and that would indicate whether the problem is in the master switch or the door switch.
I can NOT figure out which fuse is for the power windows of 2020 Nissan Altima. I’ve checked multiple place and panel isn’t using the same terminology unfortunately
This does not help my issue. My Windows operate properly, however, they work when there is no key in the ignition, and do not work at all when the key is in. Am i wrong in diagnosis that something is wired backwards?
I thank you for your detailed instructions on how to diagnose the failure of driver's side car window! I thought I'd start with checking the fuse. Sounds simple, right? The fuse puller I have is not that same kind you demonstrate. Mine is one you need to somehow jam with the strength of a gorilla into the fuse and that is supposed to open up the jaw end and grab the fuse. So there I was, an over 60 year old woman kneeling on the floor of the garage, leaning into the fuse box area, using my right hand (did I mention I'm left handed?) to try to jam the jaw end at the fuse I want to pull out. All I could think was what kind of a cruel ******** would design such a tool? I have fixed a lot of toilets, I have rewired a floor lamp, I have hung a door, but this has me wanting to jump off a bridge. For my sanity, I'm stopping this now. I'm going to bring my car to my mechanic to fix the window.
My dsw is stuck down. Switches are good, all other windows work. Fuse box said P/W 30A, there is no fuse in this slot nor a 30 a anywhere..how is this possible?
I know this video is from last year but I hope you can still see my message and reply. I'm a woman, so mechanics (Not all) sometimes take advantage. I try to do little things myself but recently the AC on my 2000 Nissan Altima started making a noise. That's something that I will definitely not try to repair myself but I live in Florida so without AC, I had to put the windows down. The problem is that now the windows aren't working either (They are stuck half way) and it rains here almost every day in the summer. I checked the fuses and they are find. From my research I found that my next step is to check the relay, But where in the world is the window relay is on this car??? I have checked the owners manual, Google, TH-cam, etc.... AND NOTHING. I know it's an old car but I can't believe I can't find ANYTHING. If you know or could lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I had one mechanic tell me that if I but the relay and tell him where it is, he would change it. Well if I knew that, I would have already changed it myself.
Maybe too late, but did you try a "reset" procedure? My Subaru legacy has one. It is very simple, just requires holding the switch in two positions for a few seconds. Search for your car model reset procedure on the internet to see if it has such a procedure. The reason for it, I think, is because the switch has additional features you don't realize it has, but they require resetting after power problems or disconnection (features like counting how many window motor rotations take place in order for the computer to calculate the window position).
Excellent video! I changed my side sliding doors on a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan for ones that have electric windows. My old doors did not have these. I'm looking for a easy way to run power to operate those windows. I have the old pigtails for both that run to the chassis wiring harness. That harness is not wired for sliding door windows. I'm thinking of adding the pins from the new pigtail to the old set of pins to the old plug on the van and adding a fused double hot wire and a ground wire to allow window control ONLY from the up and down switches in the sliding doors. No hookup to the rest of the electrical system in the van. Just hot and ground wires to the window switches in each sliding door. Don't ask why I'm doing this, I have a good reason. BTW, the sliding doors are manual, so no need to worry about automatic door openers, just electric windows. If you have any ideas on how to test the wires so I know which one is up, down and ground, I would greatly appreciate it.
Too late for you, but tape in series some batteries to add them up to 12v. That's literally how my Dremel works. My pack was not charging, so I took it apart. It was made of AAA batteries, all connected in series (equivalent to vertically stacking them on each other). BTW, you can connect AA batteries in parallel to create a D cell. That is how my rechargeable D cells were made, as are most (if not all) brands of D rechargeables. They create a battery harness the size of a D, then pack with smaller batteries to make a larger one. Again, though, making series connections adds the voltage, parallel connections increases current (and power) capability.
I just installed a new motor and regulator but the window doesn’t work. I tried the buttons before I replaced it and got nothing, no motion no sound. After the new install, still nothing. Not from driver’s side or passenger side. I guess checking the fuse is my next step.
