Why can't the passenger side window of Honda CRV be raised or lowered?
2 Answers
The possible reasons why the passenger side window cannot be raised or lowered are: 1. The master window control switch is turned off or the passenger side window lift switch is faulty. 2. Remove the door trim panel, unplug the window regulator connector, and check for power supply when operating the window switch. If there is power, replace the window regulator motor directly. The reasons why the passenger side window cannot be raised or lowered include: 1. The window regulator motor is damaged or there is poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness. 2. Motor overheating protection. To protect the power supply circuit, window regulator motors generally have an overheating protection mechanism. 3. Guide rail blockage or seal aging. Most cases of window glass failing to raise or lower are caused by mechanical jamming.
The passenger side window of my Honda CRV won't roll up or down, and I encountered a similar issue last time which took some effort to fix. First thought was the window switch button getting stuck, as frequent pressing can lead to wear. Checking the fuse is also crucial since blown fuses are common; they're located in the engine compartment fuse box or inside the door panel. If it's due to poor contact or a short circuit in the wiring, a multimeter test is necessary. Motor failure is another high possibility, especially in older vehicles where the motor might produce abnormal sounds. If attempting DIY repairs, avoid forcing the glass up or down to prevent damaging more components. Safety first—being caught in rain with a stuck window can impair visibility. My suggestion is to start by replacing the fuse—it's low-cost and simple. If that doesn't work, a professional inspection at the dealership is advisable. Regular cleaning of the window guide channels can help reduce failure rates.
