Interior problem
1990 Honda Accord Four Wheel Drive Automatic 165000 miles

Hi, The Back left window hasn't worked for a long time. I cannot be moved by either the master switch or the back left switch itself. More recently the front driver side stopped rolling up or down. It started to roll up about 4 inches and then would stop and could be rolled back down but then back up to 4 inches again. The master switch on drivers side can still operate the the right front and right back windows with no problem. Someone told me it was the master switch so I spent almost $100 and it did not change anything. The left rear window is rolled up so it is not a problem but would like the fix the drive window immediately. Do you know what the problem is. Sorry don't know what size engine I have.

Hi nette1410,

It is not a problem with the driver door master switch but either the door regulator or its motor.

You would need to remove the door panel to visually inspect/test the regulator and motor.

As to the rear window, most likely the motor is bad.
Remove the door panel and apply battery voltage to the motor connectors to see if it works the motor.
