The first step is to check if the fuse that powers the electric windows has blown. The fuse box is usually located either under the hood or inside the car, near the steering wheel. Check the owner's manual for the specific location of the fuse box and the fuse that controls the electric windows. If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
Switch:
If the fuse is intact, the next step is to check the window switch. The window switch is usually located on the driver's door, but it may be located on a different door on some models. Try operating the window switch several times to see if the window starts working. If the window does not work, try pressing and holding the window switch for a few seconds. If the window still does not work, the switch may be faulty and will need to be replaced.
Motor:
If the fuse and switch are both working properly, the problem may be with the window motor. The window motor is located inside the door, near the window regulator. To access the window motor, you will need to remove the door panel. Once you have removed the door panel, you can inspect the window motor for damage. If the window motor is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
Regulator:
If the window motor is working properly, the problem may be with the window regulator. The window regulator is a series of gears and pulleys that raises and lowers the window. To access the window regulator, you will need to remove the door panel and the window motor. Once you have removed the window motor, you can inspect the window regulator for damage. If the window regulator is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
Wiring:
If the fuse, switch, motor, and regulator are all working properly, the problem may be with the wiring. The wiring that powers the electric windows may be damaged, which is preventing the windows from working. To diagnose a wiring problem, you will need a multimeter. Use the multimeter to check for continuity between the window switch and the window motor. If there is no continuity, the wiring is damaged and will need to be repaired.
