Power window not working

Hi Swerve11,

There is a circuit breaker for the power windows in the drivers side instrument panel fuse block. It is labeled "RETAINED ACCSRY/PWR BRKR" and its description is "power window, sunroof breaker". Here is a guide to help you test the switch and the wiring diagrams to help you see how the system works:

Power car windows do not work. Tried power relay from passenger side as suggested by AutoZone, it did not make windows work, also tried new switch which did not make windows work. They make a buzzing sound when attempting to put down drivers window, but to no avail. Did get new 30 AMP breaker, windows still not working. I heard something about putting power to the motor itself, but not sure how to do this. Please advise the possibilities of what is going on and why?

When you try to operate windows, is circuit breaker hot to the touch? Main voltage to master switch, yellow wire, main ground is black. There is a lock-out switch at master switch, if it is tripped, only the driver can operate any of the windows. Usually the driver window motor will fail before the others, obvious reason.

Because it is a reversing motor, the circuits at the motor switch voltage and ground, depending on up or down.

Automatic transmission.

My power windows stopped working.

Check your fuses. If it is just one window then pop door panel off and check to ensure window motor is getting power. If it is all windows then it is probably a fuse or relay.

Why would my power windows and power mirrors all stop working at the same time?
Fuses are all good!

Remove window switch and check for 12 volts at switch, ignition in "on".

If you do not have 12 volts then recheck fuses and fusible links.

Window will not work sometimes.

Hi gala,

You probably should have given a little more description of your window problem. I am going to assume that it is the driver side window control switches and the one that is working sometimes is the switch for the driver's window since this the one that gets the most action.

Sometimes when these switches are wearing out, they will continue to work when slight sideward pressure is applied when operating the switch.

The switch can be replaced with very little effort or real mechanical or electrical expertise. If you can operate a screwdriver and disconnect an electrical connector, you are the person for the job.

The switch can be ordered on eBay at a very reasonable price.
