I just bought a 2001 Civic Lx. Both the rear power windows don't do down
from any of the switches. I don't hear any noise when the buttons are
pressed. Where should I start. Any help would be appreciated.

Also is there any way to tell if the Timing belt was changed ?

Inspect the fuses in all three fuse boxes (the descriptions are in the
owner's manual).

Are you sure the switch isn't in the OFF position?

The dealer where it was sold / serviced will probably tell you the story
on the service. They are pretty good about it in Canada.

I will check the fuse box. Thanks

I've checked for that

It was a private sale and the guy had no records of any sort.

======================

Use your imagination: Call _any Honda dealer_ with the VIN # and ask for
the exact date it was sold. Then ask them which dealership sold it. Then
call that dealer or go see them to find out whether Joe Blow ever had
his car serviced there.

I've gotten the record of service by talking to the salesman. They are
sometimes helpful.

I checked the fuses in the fuse box under the steering column and they look
fine. What's next ?

Does it have child locks inside the rear doors? If so that could be
the problem.

Make sure BOTH rear dr switches are plugged in tightly. (depending on
the wiring sometimes if one is loose or unplugged neither window will
work)

If that checks out OK check the main (drivers dr) switch.

It's been a while since I worked on a 4 dr so I don't remember if
there are 2 plugs or not, but remove the main (drivers dr) switch and
make sure everything is plugged in tight.

If it has two plugs for the windows (front and rear) and the rear is
plugged in, than the main switch is probably bad.
