Great video bro. You did an amazing job explaining the testing, troubleshooting and multimeter use. It's a great service that you provided for the person who lost their job.

An excellent easy to follow presentation that will no doubt come in handy some day. Thanks for your time making this video.

You are so patient and such a fresh breathe of air on RU-vid. I love love love how you explain.

You get a like and subscribe. I just changed my window regulator assembly and found my window still was not working. While watching your video you talked about how to test the window regulator, and that lead to my solution. Thank you.

Thanks for posting the information in the links you provided. I was surprised at the low cost of the trim panel tools. Thanks!

Thanks so much, I have been able to fix my issue with the front passenger window

Thank You for the Very useful information.

My research has just begun. I have a 2002 Buick Park Avenue. I believe my fuses are under the back seat. Perhaps, I will find a video more specific for that Buick? I subscribed! Thanks for the video.

I agree with everyone here, your delivery is top notch and explanation of testing procedure superb.

Appreciate this video, brother. Thanks.

Thanks bro, I will be using your tips!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

Great video, excellent explanation, really appreciated the tip to use a battery from a drill as a temporary 12v test supply.

This was SO HELPFUL. Easy to follow, clearly explained. Thank you!!!

Thank you for sharing this ideas. God bless you!

The best and most clear honest explanation Ive ever come across.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks from here in the Uk, as my Jeep just had it's 21st Birthday it's guys like you help me keep it on the road.

Thanks for your help info 👊

Clear and to the point

Thank you for this video!

Thanks a lot for share your knowledge in this matter ! the driver's window of my Skoda suddenly stop working. In the garage changed the switch and the fuse and bingo! worked for once. The next day, when I turned on the auto, the front windows were frozen again. Doesn't open at all :-( Maybe is the relay? (I'm going to try it). Again thank you for your time and explanation!

Very nice video

You’re amazing!!! Thank you!

Thank you very much it really help me 🙏

You are freaking AMAZING!!! Thank you!!

Fantastic! Ty sir

Fyi, replacing the regulator is not difficult--plenty of videos on it. You can also just replace the regulator motor (just removing screws and a connector) to make it an even cheaper fix. Thanks for a very clear and concise video!

Thank You !

Excellent video! I changed my side sliding doors on a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan for ones that have electric windows. My old doors did not have these. I'm looking for a easy way to run power to operate those windows. I have the old pigtails for both that run to the chassis wiring harness. That harness is not wired for sliding door windows. I'm thinking of adding the pins from the new pigtail to the old set of pins to the old plug on the van and adding a fused double hot wire and a ground wire to allow window control ONLY from the up and down switches in the sliding doors. No hookup to the rest of the electrical system in the van. Just hot and ground wires to the window switches in each sliding door. Don't ask why I'm doing this, I have a good reason. BTW, the sliding doors are manual, so no need to worry about automatic door openers, just electric windows. If you have any ideas on how to test the wires so I know which one is up, down and ground, I would greatly appreciate it.

Very nice 👍🙏

Brilliant!! Indeed 😊✌️

Repairs involving trim are the bane of many, but if you take your time and see how everything is put together, how the manufacturer/designer thought, then it is easy and actually interesting. Thanks for this clip, imagine someone out of pocket stuck with a dead, open window and the weather is closing in. Few tools are needed for this repair, even just a test light and 12v battery.

Awsome I found a burnt fuse. Now I will test new switch.

Awesome info, I have a Nissan Maxima Qx VQ2000, my central lock does not lock one rear door even when I lock with the key. What should I check and test to fix the problem? Thanks

GREAT VIDEO , Wish you would do one on a 2009 Ford f15 4 door Front passenger window goes down but Not up .

Educative. In east Africa we say Asante

Good clear video, my honda 2001 hrv has one fuse front windows one for each rear, front windows work rear not work fuses look ok for them could it be relay or only one relay for all windows?

good video

Thanks very much my symptoms are the same go up delay go down.both front windows.

Yah- - After Hour 3 trying to do the window regulator on my Toyota Solara, and was shop baited by online prices that were 1/3 of the actual price, and because now the price is three digits instead of 1/3 of that, going to test the switch with a multimeter. While I am sure it's the motor, it is an expensive gas so I want to make sure that it is the motor.

At min 7:24 when you applied power to those two terminals *if the relay is normay closed type (NC type)* you short the relay because there's continuity between those two prongs when the relay's not powered... those two prongs are terminal 30 and terminal 87 that connect to the *controlled circuit or load* and usually you can tell because they're wider prongs....the other two prongs are terminal 85 and terminal 86 and they bring the ground and positive (control signal) to the relay...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

thank you

Thank you kind sir

Thanks sir

An excellent Thanks

Great video! My left rear power window gradually stop working... is it possible to stop working that way with fuse problem? it's not window regulator/motor, not switch, not mail switch... (I'm asking you here because I'm away from my car at this point). Thank you in advance for your advice!

Easier to swap a potential bad relay with a good one that is similar than trying to test it. If it works, then relay is bad. Thanks for the other hints.

Thanks

nice!

I thank you for your detailed instructions on how to diagnose the failure of driver's side car window! I thought I'd start with checking the fuse. Sounds simple, right? The fuse puller I have is not that same kind you demonstrate. Mine is one you need to somehow jam with the strength of a gorilla into the fuse and that is supposed to open up the jaw end and grab the fuse. So there I was, an over 60 year old woman kneeling on the floor of the garage, leaning into the fuse box area, using my right hand (did I mention I'm left handed?) to try to jam the jaw end at the fuse I want to pull out. All I could think was what kind of a cruel ******** would design such a tool? I have fixed a lot of toilets, I have rewired a floor lamp, I have hung a door, but this has me wanting to jump off a bridge. For my sanity, I'm stopping this now. I'm going to bring my car to my mechanic to fix the window.

Is it possible to use a 9 volt battery for the relay troubleshooting relay?

My relay slot blew and I now don't have windows that roll up/down any temporary fix ? Currently driving a 2000 ford taurus

been trying to get my 2005 crown vic windows to work also locks don,t work or the dome lights

How did you determine which switch to pull?

Hi I have a question I have a 2013 Lincoln MKT sometimes the front passenger door switch doesn’t work and sometimes it does sometimes the front driver master switch for that right passenger door doesn’t work and sometimes it does

I have a 1994 Honda del sol and my driver side window does not work, I’ve changed out the motor, cleaned out harnesses, looked at fuses and relay and controller, I still can’t get it to work, I’ve run out of ideas. Please help

My driver window switch stopped working and cant find a replacement OEM switch so I bought a universal switch and relocate it to next to mirror switch on dashboard and used some old speaker wire that I had laying around but now the motor only clicks wanting to go up or down but when I connect the motor straight to power with the factory wires it goes up and when I the wires it goes down, so could it be that the wire that I used is too thin

please help what are the fuse and breaker numbers for 1998 c-5 power windows ?

If the passenger window rolls down with the switch, but not up, but it will go up with the driver side passenger window control, is it a safe bet that is the switch that's the problem?

Here's a good one: ran your tests and discovered that there is no current at fuse! (fuse ok) Ran 12v through fuse (load side) receptacle and everything works.

2013 F150 drivers, and rear windows do not work. Only the front passenger is working. Any idea?

I have a 2004 Honda Civic and my driver side window works sometime and my passenger side windows will not let up at all. What is my problem?
