Couple of years ago rear left side power window stopped working. Since it was fully closed I didn't bother much. Now the rear right side stopped working, and window won't roll up! Thanks.

can you hear the window motor trying to run when hitting switch? if not they are probably failing one by one.. if so then remove door panel and inspect the window to see what's it's doing when motor is engaged. Lets check the fuses and power relay here are guides to help us fix it. Here are the window wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Did you connect all wires correctly, may be it is not properly inserted.
Try unplug and plug it back,

It seems highly impossible with such a newer car but I have a 90 Camry and had problems with my electric windows and door locks and found broken wires between the door and the body. Worth a try!

no you got a bad fuse some were. theres not only fuses under the hood and behinde the tray there fuses behinde the panel were the tray is on under the steering wheel remove that paner under the steering weel you see the fuses then remove the black tube were the ac airs goes threw you wont need to remove an screws for that just pull down hard on it you wont brake it it comes right out that way you can get to the fuses behind it you see the 30 a fuse (the bigger kind with the little glass its pink) youll find that that fuse is blown check them all to be sure there good


dum place to put that fuse you dont even now about it youd think theyd put it with the regular ones you can see but then a gain that was a pretty stupid thing you did

thats definatly your problem with out a doubt

So i have a 95 Camry 4cyl LE and the passenger side window does not work, all the other windows work just fine. Now, here is the strange part, when i keep pressing on the passenger side switch eventually its like it will catch and the window will move whichever direction i was pushing the switch however; the switch on the driver side does not work at all for it, only on the passenger side will it move as long as i click the switch many times. Could it be the wires are corroded so it doesn't have a good enough connection?

Hello

With the miles you have on the vehicle I would think it is the window regulator/motor. The best way to verify is to remove the door panel and disconnect the connector to the motor and then apply 12v to it. If you connect to one way the window will go up and swap them and this moves the window down. If it moves really slowly or not at all, then it is bad and needs replacing. Auto Zone and O’Reilly’s carries these parts.

i have a 95 camry, but only one window works. which is a rear right window. i changed the main driver side switch and i still have the same problem. i have ruled out a relay or fuse since one of the window is working. the motors are also good. i am getting voltage at the connector of the driver side switch. i am thinking it would be shortage in the wire, but i think it is too coincidental that the other 3 windows has that same problem. thank you...

Suspect broken wires in door jamb (inside black dust boot) common problem from years of opening wires become brittle and break, check there.

You dont want to remove the wiring, just the boot to inspect for broken wires, dont cut it, just feed one end of the boot inside the door exposing wires, then inspect for any broken wires, Also if you have knowledge of auto circuitry and are able to read wire diagrams and know/have a meter i could post a diagram for you, to aid in diagnosing problem

First check the fuses for each circuit. Also, you didn't say if they won't work at all, or just when you try to control them with the driver's controls. (do the switches on the other doors work)

Because if the other switches work, then it's probably your door switch is bad, or the wiring that runs through the door to the switch has a break in it.

Hi crast,

Problem could be due to a bad fuse, ( POWER FUSE 30 A) or power main relay, both located at relay box on left side of instrument panel.

Other possible causes would be a faulty master switch or wiring circuit.

Check the fuse and relay first.

Hi there,

Unplug the window motor and check for power with button pushed in, as it only has 2 wires the power switches from one to the other for up and down, so to power the motor, attach power to one wire and earth the other if it goes the wrong way swap around, if nothing happens the motor has failed.

A car this old, usually turns out a few wires in the harness that runs from the door to the inside of the car break from bending all these years, if nothing found, if windows work at other switches, switch is probably faulty. Test switch continuity as shown.

Test the motor like this, it should operate both ways by reversing the leads. POWER WINDOW MOTOR Circuit Breaker Operation Inspect the window in the full closed position, hold the power window switch in "UP" position and check that there is a circuit breaker operation noise within 4 to 40 seconds. With the window in full closed position, hold the switch in the "DOWN" position and check that the window begins to descend within 60 seconds. If operation is not as specified, replace the motor. Window Motor Operation Inspect the motor operation. Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and negative (-) lead to terminal 2. See Fig. 12 . Check that the motor turns. Connect the positive (+) lead to terminal 2 and negative (-) lead to terminal 1. Check that the motor turns the opposite way. If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.

The front and back driver side windows are both stuck down. Since the passenger side windows still work do you think it could be the fuse(s) and not the motor? Where are the fuses located and how do I check if they're good/bad? Thanks

I think the problem is the relay not the fuse. Be sure to check fuses and relays of your power box. If it’s still not working, then take the interior door panel off. Unplug the motor and check if you’re getting voltage at the plug. You could now move the switch up/down to see if the voltage is being sent. If you are getting voltage at the plug then probably the problem is your motor. Hope this helps.

recently the front passenger window decided to stop going up, it went down fine, but wont go up. I removed the panel, replaced the motor with new one, and it still will not go up. goes down fine, wont go up. I had put it down because it was a hot day and when i went to raise it, nothing happened, no sound, no click, no anything. Then, 3 days later as i was leaving for the mechanics with my trash bag window, i experimentally tried to raise it and it came up halfway. then we put in the new motor and it goes down fine but wont come up. also the front driver window will go up, but only about halfway. then i have to wait and wait and then try again to get it the rest of the way. please help

if master switch you mean the driver's controls then no it did not go up with those when it did go up, nor did it go down using those. the passenger switch itself is fine since it worked to move it down, but it will not go up. unless there is some switch problem where they only work one way, the passenger one is fine to my knowledge
