My power windows don't work! Is it the power window relay? Power window switch? Power window fuse? Or simply, the power window regulator or power window motor? Today we tackle each issue and show how to quickly diagnose what the heck is going on. Cheers.

@@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 KZfaq)!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
