Can you help me? 2003 Honda CRV power windows replaced regulators w/motors. What color wires do I check at the switch for the front windows? IE power and grounds. Thank you

Hi Hattie, I'm glad to help!

Hattie, unfortunately window problems can be a lot of things. (1) The regulator could be broken. Here is how to see if it is the regulator. Put your ear close to the door with the key on and try to raise or lower the window while listen for the motor operation. NOTE: If you hear the motor moving but the window doesn't move this means that the window regulator is bad and needs to be replaced. NOTE: If you do not hear the motor then you could have a wiring issue or a switch that has gone bad. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Hattie.

Motor works but window doesn't?

Remove the inner door panel & replace
the broken window regulator

Switch over motor to new one

No voltage to switch?

Some other issue?

Did you check for power and ground at the window motor connector before you replaced it? Apparently not....

Hi,
1) Look at the manual for the remote switch, there is an option to light up the signal light when you remotely push the button.

2) The window cable regulator part can be bought/order in your nearest Honda Parts Dealer, you could also ask any auto parts store for a replacement parts that you needed. bring your car to the nearest garage to install the new window regulator.

Hope that helps you out!

Hi there,

All power windows are controlled by the same fuse.

Therefore, the most logical problem will lie either with the driver's window 'switch' or the driver's window regulator 'motor'.

If you know how to remove the internal door panel to gain access to the 2-wire connector on the regulator motor, undo the connector and using suitable jumper wires, connect each plug wire to a spare 12v battery - this should operate the motor. Then, reverse the wires on the battery and the regulator motor should move the opposite way.

If the motor operates "continuously" in both directions when connected directly to battery power, then the fault lies in the driver's master window switch.

If the motor fails to move "continuously" (ie it stops part way) in either direction, then the motor on the window regulator is faulty and should be replaced with a known good motor.

Cheers,

It could be the motor of the power windows.

Troubleshoot

• 1

  Check the fuses and switches. Your owner's manual and fuse-box cover have fuse and switch diagrams. Look for the power window relay and power window motor labels. Tug out the fuse and check it for damage. Check the switches for deterioration or abnormalities. You can get a new fuse or switch at an auto parts store or super center and easily replace it.
  

• 2

  Get out your tool box if you've eliminated fuses and switches as the cause of the problem. Now you have to remove the door panel to get a better look at your window's power source. For the driver's side and passenger-side doors, remove the door pad and inner moisture barrier. Use an upholstery-removal tool to help pry the panel off. The rear windows require that you remove the two center channel screws at the top of the door frame and two lower bolts in the bottom of the door. Check under the weather stripping if those bolts aren't evident.
  

• 3

  Lower the window until the glass bolts are visible. Use the 10mm socket wrench to remove the bolts in the large and smaller access holes. Standing at an angle inside the door, tip the glass gently toward the outside of the door. Pull it out and set it in a secure place.
  

Inspect the Motor and Regulator

• 1

  Access the regulator by removing the front channel and regulator mounting bolts. Older models have additional roller bolts.
  

• 2

  Use a digital voltage meter to test regulator power before completely removing it. A reading of less than 12 means you have a wiring or switch problem. Recheck the fuses and switches. A reading of 12 means your wiring and switches are getting power to the motor, so the motor is inoperative for another reason.
  

• 3

  Remove the motor and regulator. Wear protective gloves and keep your hands clear of the regulator gear spring. You can expect it to snap abruptly on removal.
  

Install New Power Window Motor and Regulator

• 1

  Use oil to grease the roller guides and sliding surfaces of the regulator after removing all the parts. Confirm that the breather pipe is in position to keep water out of your new motor.
  

• 2

  Advance the new regulator gear with your gloved hand. Use the collar and mounting bolt to secure the new motor in place. Replace the front door run channel.
  

• 3

  Slide the window glass back into the door. Advance the regulator with the power window control in the door until the glass mounting bolt holes line up with the access holes. Replace the window mounting bolts.
  

• 4

  Test for smooth operation of the window. The window should move up and down easily and form a tight seal when closed. Tighten or loosen window mounting bolts as needed.
  

• 5

  Replace the liner and door panel. Dispose of the dead motor.

If the windows don't work, any of several issues is likely to blame, including no electricity, bad switches, bad motor, damaged window regulator, or even a broken wire.

Automotive power windows use a switched motor to operate a mechanical window regulator. This regulator moves the pane of glass into the door.

To check and confirm the fault try this procedure:--

1) Open the fuse panel and check the fuses for disrupted elements. The fuse panel at the driver's side kick panel, or between the dashboard and the door. In some cars the fuses are mounted in the engine compartment, in front of the driver's side firewall. Check the fuses and replace if faulty.
2) Test the wiring harnesses from the fuse panel to the switches and from the switches to the window regulator motor. If the circuits test fine, then proceed to the next step. If a wiring harness is shorted or damaged, it will need to be replaced.3) Remove and test the switches on the driver's side door panel. Pry them up with a screwdriver and pull them free of the panel's opening. Disconnect the switch assembly from the wiring harness by pulling the adapter plug from the assembly. Test the switches individually by touching both sides of one switch with the circuit tester. Each switch will have two terminals, and if the tester is positive on both terminals while the window is activated, then the switch is good. Replace the switch assembly if any of the switches fails the test. Most power window switches come in assembled modules and cannot be replaced individually.4) Remove and test (if possible) the power window motor. Turn the armrest bolts and interior door handle screws counterclockwise, then pull the door panel free from the pop rivets. Behind the panel are a window regulator, the window glass, and the electric driver motor. The motor is usually located in the lower right section of the door. Unplug the motor from the wiring harness and unbolt it from the window regulator by turning the bolts counterclockwise. Pull the motor straight out, away from the gears. And check out if motor is receiving exact 12 volts at the terminals. If not then either motor is faulty or there is a confirm short if motor is replaced.

5) If all the above mentioned possibilities are checked out ok then the window regulator needs to be checked. Inspect the window regulator's joints for rust or stiff movement, if the electrical system is operating correctly. These joints can corrode or break, causing the window to stop working. With the door panel off, the window regulator can be removed and replaced by sliding the glass away from the track mounts, then turning all mount bolts counterclockwise and manipulating the regulator out of the door.

Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

It may not be the motor. 99% of the time it is the switch. Take the switch out and remove the wires from the swithc. touch the two wires to gether and see if the window moves. It will not shock you so no worries. If the window moves you can either tear the switch apart and sand/clean the contacts inside the switch and replace it or go to the wrecking yard and buy the switch at a pick a part and replace it for 5 or 10 bucks. Those guys wheel and deal so say if it is 10 bucks then say you only have 6 on you. He will take it. If not say you will check in your change cup in the car. Then just pay him. Its always worth a try. LOL I hope this heals your owie, The Raz

have the window regulator checked. If you are hearing clicking from both sides, your regulators are worn/damaged. Hopefully this helps

u are going to have to replace the window regulator, that is the part the raises and lowers the glass.
