Default Re: Window motor on '90 Accord?

Dave,
Does the motor seem like it's running at all? The reason
I ask is I had a problem with the power windows on my
89 LXi. I unnecessarily took the glass and motor out
only to find it was the "black box" that allows the window
to go all of the way down with a button push. After getting
the door apart (and that was no fun), I was bummed to
find the motor was good.

Below is my post from yesterday.

Besides fixing several MAIN relay's on my and a few
other Hondas, my 89 accord had a power window
controller that went bad. Guess what; it had a broken
solder joint much like the MAIN relay problem. What's
going on with Honda's soldering? It could also be a
design issue of not properly bracing a component to the
printed circuit board and just depending on the solder to
hold it. Then with vibrations and jolts that in an environ-
ment like a car, eventual failure.

Good luck,
chuck
