How do I tell if it's the window motor? It makes a noise when you hold the switch. Is the window track fed or what? Could that be broken, or is it just the motor making noise?

hi, it sounds like you are hearing the window motor working to turn a broken window regulator. the window regulator on your vehicle is a wire guided wheel moving two track guides up and down, affixed to the window itself. the center of the unit contains wire wrapped around a plastic roller, the most common problem is, the plastic is worn out by the metal wire and it cracks, breaks, and the wires come loose causing the window to fall. you will need to have your window regulator replaced. it's not hard for the mechanically inclined to tackle this job, but if you are not, do not attempt this repair, take it to a shop. one thing i want to tell you, from my experience as a automotive technician, i find that the aftermarket window parts(regulator, switch, motor, etc.) are inferior to factory parts from a dealer. i would recommend replacing the regulator with only factory honda parts, but you don't have to take to honda dealer to do the work.
if panel is off then , check for power at the motor if its getting power on one wire and ground on the other wire then motor is bad, to get window up remove 2 bolts at bottom of window were it bolt to the track, then you can pull up but must lock or jam window to stay up. try disconnecting motor conector and run a power and ground to motor flip conn to make go up or down, good luck.
If it makes noise when you are trying to put it up or down there's a good chance that the window motor is still working. The window just might be off the track..
You must have a dead battery or had the battery disconnected at somepoint. That's OK. All you have to do is pull up on your window switch and hold it. Once the window is all the way up, continue to hold the switch. You will hear a small click from a relay. This sound indicates the window is programmed. You may have to try a coupe of times, but it's that simple! Message again if you have any more questions.
A car I owned the left rear window did that. I could pull it up by taking a hold of it while another person held the switch. They told me the problem was the track was made out of plastic and it had broken. They had to replace the track. Yes it was expensive to repair but is ok now.
take off door panel and see if window has fallen off the track. may have to replace window motor as it is part of the window regulator is inside the motor and that maybe what is out.
