Power windows do not work

Driver's door seems to be getting no electrical power. The lock is manual only. None of the switches on the door control panel (lock, windows, power mirror) work. The rest of the vehicle's electrical logic responds as if the door is always open, regardless of its position.

    It was in fact the black wire in the harness leading to the door control. Easy fix in a tight spot. Thanks to all for your time and expertise!

If it is an 04 check the wiring inside the rubber pass thru on the drivers side door to the body. there is a black wire thest is notorious for getting brittle and breaking. Just strip back both ends and splice a loop of wire, about 2 inches long between them.

It sounds like it could be one fuse or several. It also could be your door control module.

THIS REALLY WORKS****** Saved atleast $600 easy
Ok so when you open your driver door there is a black boot that goes from the body of Jeep to the door (inside the Jam when you open door-its visable) Take this loose...inside there is a wire bundle...there was a black and orange wire in there that were both broken....All we did was strip these and reconnect them w/ connector....Voila..windows all roll up and down..interior lights come on and the locks work and the power mirrors....I AM SO HAPPY THAT THIS WORKED SAVED ME SO MUCH $$$$

SOURCE: power door locks and windows

The answer to your question is maybe. Get a couple of switches from a junkyard (my guy gets $5.00 each) and try them. Here's why: I have no less than five different wiring diagrams, and none of them make any sense at all (been doing this stuff a really long time) I keep a good switch handy to check my jeeps when one gets wierd on me...even so, my 93 passenger window works with the key off, none of the others do. Stopped trying to figure it out a long time ago, but would really like to meet the guy who designed this stuff!

Sounds familiar - I pulled the rubber boot back and found the black wire was broken. I stripped the wires and put on a couple bullet connectors (terminators) and all is good. Just wish I would have seen this post before I took the door panel off... Oh well...

SOURCE: No electric windows, mirrors, or door locks

Look in the Engine bay fuse box at Fuse #12 this should be for the power windows. If this checks out OK, it could be a fault with a bad ground wire in driver's side door harness. You should be able to pry the runbber boot from the drivers door, and check the larger Black wire that goes through it. These have been known to break after a few years use. If it is the cable, cut neatly, strip the ends anu use a crimp splice. Hope this is a quick and easy fix for you. If it helps you solve the problem, Please take a moment to rate as Fixya! Thanks.

2004 nissan sentra power windows not working. Replaced door master switch. Replaced power window relay. Replaced 30 amp fuse under the hood.

Look for broken wires in the driver's door opening. If you don't find any, you will need a test light or voltmeter to check for power at the driver's door master switch. For any electrical testing problem, you really need a voltmeter. You can check for power to the master switch on one single wire, with key ON. You can also use the multi-meter to check the ground for the power windows right at the master switch.

Hyundai ix35 2012 window lock stuck. passenger window half down and cant get it to move up or down

Before you replace anything, inspect the connector pins in both the driver's door switch and the passenger door switch. If you don't find any problem with these connector pins, replace the driver's door control switch.

Power windows locks and mirrors

Sounds like the master switch is not plugged in properly, this is the switch in the driver's door.

All windows except the driver's side are not working.

First, if the driver's window is working, there is no need to waste your time looking for fuses. ALL of the windows are powered by the SAME fuse.

The first thing I recommend checking is the window "lock" switch on the master switch. If it is in the "lock" position, none of the other windows will work (it is designed to do that)

Other than that, you need to check for power and ground at all of the other door switches. The BLUE/BLACK wire at each of the switches should have battery voltage anytime the ignition switch is in the ON position. If they do not, the wire is broken between the splice near the driver's door and the right front door. Both the RED and the GREEN wires at each switch should have continuity to ground anytime the master switch is at rest with the "lock" switch in the unlock position (the lock switch breaks these grounds to "lock" the windows and prevent them from being operated).

I own a 2003 f-150 heritage edition The windows worked just fine this morning I go to role them up tonight they will not work. I checked every fuse none bad. They light up and locks and power mirror...

Check the power to the power window switch on the driver's side.

Std & SuperCab Engine compartment fuse panel, Fuse # 110 -> Accessory delay relay -> Light Blue w/ Black stripe wire.

If you do not have power at the light blue w/ black stripe wire with the key in the accy or run positions, next would be to pull the accessory delay relay from the cab fuse panel, and bench test it to make sure when power & ground are connected to the coil, that the normally open terminals close. Easy test, power & ground to terminal 85 & 86, ohm meter on terminals 30 & 87.

sscullys_198.jpg

If the accessory delay relay bench tests good, check for continuity on terminal 87 to the light blue w/ black stripe wire at the window switch.
Another easy route is to install a jumper in the relay socket ( with the relay removed ) as shown in the diagram above, red line. This should have power at the power windows regardless of the key position. If not, the fuse is not good or the wire is broken, most likely in the rubber boot from the a pillar to the driver's door.

All power windows do not work. I have a 2006 Sebring. I replaced the 30amp circuit breaker and checked the fuses. What else could cause this problem

5wilson, looking at the electrical diagram , the driver's door switch can lock out the windows from opreating completely (I'm not quite sure about the drivers window, but the Driver's door switch is one common denominator. DON'T REPLACE IT JUST BECAUSE I HAVE MENTIONED IT, I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU OTHER PLACES WHICH SUPPLY POWER TO THE WINDOWS FROM ONE SPOT!
Power supplies and grounds: Remove the driver's door switch and the main power supply going into the switch is a TAN wire. This is a switched wire (meaning the windows won't operate withiot the ignition switch on) There is a junction block to the left of the bottom of the steering column (C8), it contains a 30 amp circuit breaker which has the tan wire going to it. Coming off of that same harness before it gets to the circuit breaker, is a window drop relay. (Are you sure you want to mess with this?) The window drop relay is in the driver's door. It has "roughly" 8- 10 wires going to it.There is a black wire also coming off of the switch which grounds to the body. As the harness passes through thee door and connects to the interior harness, the wire is black and tan out of the junction block.. You will need a good test light or digital volt/ohm meter.
I am making the assumption you know how to use a test light and a digital volt/ohm meter.

I hope I haven't made a confising mess for you. Electrical is best left to the pros..
Good luck.

Camry 1996 automatic power lock doen't work, but windows work.

if you can here relays when unlocking/locking check for power at door lock actuators inside doors, if you have power on lock/unlock and good earth from connector actuators are faulty.
if no power on test light when operating check output from central door lock module while operating, none coming out of module then it might need replacing.
check 30Amp power fuse for main relay under bonnet (which goes to pin 8 white/blue on module)and 10Amp gauge fuse in cab(pin 1 blue/red on module),pin 15 is also power when relay is on(red/blue) with test light, and module/ actuators.
check outputs from module pin 3 & 4
blue/red
blue/black
that go to door locks

Single power window switches dont work

Replace the drivers door window/lock control unit in the door.
I had the same exact issue and it is not a connection issue. I
never left the window open in the rain but the control unit did have some rust on it.
