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.
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!! 😊🙏🏻❤️📖🙌
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.
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.
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
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)!
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.
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.
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...
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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?
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
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 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?
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
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.
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
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?
Sir, you have earned my respect and admiration. I wish you well. You have helped a person in need. That says a lot about you. Thank You!!!

Thanks for posting the information in the links you provided. I was surprised at the low cost of the trim panel tools. Thanks!
Great video, excellent explanation, really appreciated the tip to use a battery from a drill as a temporary 12v test supply.

So, we're to assume that, because the switch tests good in one direction, let's say down, it will automatically test good in the up direction?
