Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2004Power Window 88 Accord
Driver's window stopped halfway up, now won't move up or down. All the other windows work. Fuses are good. I hear a click when I move the switch up or down, so I think the switch is ok. Seems it is either the motor or the power window control black box. How can I tell which one is likely culprit? Can I switch motors with another window? Gary I don't have the book anymore, but there is a way to jump wire past the black box to locate the problem. See if a junk yard has one you can try in their parking lot to be sure it's what you need. bob > Driver's window stopped halfway up, now won't move up or down. All the > other windows work.

I had trouble finding a window w/d for Accords but I found a 91 Prelude w/d. Remove the inside paneling from the door. Locate the plug where the motor plugs in and unplug the motor. Get a two conductor wire, such as speaker wire, long enough to go from the battery to the door motor. Look at the plug and locate the red/blue and the red/yellow wires. Carefully twist a wire on to the two stabs**. Make sure there is no strands shorting out. Have someone touch the other ends to the battery terminals and see if the motor runs. Reverse the wires at the battery and see if the motor goes the other way. If the motor works it's OK.and the problem is with the Control unit, a switch or a wire. driver's window is different than the other windows because it goes down if you press hard on the switch, that is what the control unit and a relay in the motor are for. Driver's door has 4 wires and other windows only 2 wires. ** I assume the motor is the male half of the plug. Be careful not to touch the bypass wires to the blue and black wires or you will melt something. Hope this helps. > I don't have the book anymore, but there is a way to jump wire past the >black box to locate the problem.

I advise you to look in the yellow pages under auto junk yards and call them to see if they can sell you what you need. Some of them are on a computer network and can order you what you need even if they don't have the type of car you need on their lot. A Honda dealer would charge you about twice as much for a motor.
