help! power windows don't work :( -fixed

[tharaka]

just randomly, my power windows stopped working
dont go up, dont go down

no, they're not "locked"

they dont work from the drivers control panel, and they dont work from each individual controller

right now my drivers side is stuck open


where it the fuse for it? my engine bay fusebox is in japanese, and it doesnt seem to be in the fusebox near the datalog port


thanks

:?

 

[tharaka]

checked the fuses
no dice

theyre all good


i took apart the drivers door trim in hopes of getting the window manually up but i have no idea what im doing


should i just call an auto electrician?

did you check both fuse boxes? engine compartment and under the steering well?

maybe your master switch has packed it in,

although when mine did this i could operate the other windows from their respective switches...... :?

yeah
i checked both
the fuse box under the steering wheel doesnt have any to do with power windows though
but the one in the engine bay does, but that fuse is still intact

my windows dont work from any doors

ive just called an auto elec to come look at it

factory grounds to the door
if you take off the door trim and look at the connector for the power window switch
the ground cable is the black one in the corner, there should only be one

just run a new cable to the chassis and you should be good to go

Oh ****, guess I'm another victim... Here's hoping it's a blown fuse.

 

[slinkovic]

All fuses are fine... I'm guessing I have the same issue as you, tharaka.

Did you do this on your own? Was it easy enough?

Thanks

 

[tharaka]

i called up an auto electrician



which window(s) aren't working?

 

[slinkovic]

Was the rear right.

All good now, down $100 though.

finally got around to fixing mine

ran a wire from the black earth wire near the switch to a window regulator bolt, BINGO! problem solved

thanks for the help tharaka
