Honda Car Forum

my 2001 honda civic passenger window is stuck in the 'close' position.
i replaced the window motor, unnecessarily, and when reassembling the
switch to the passenger door the window went straight up, so i quickly
disconnected the switch.

before i put in the new motor, i found the fuse below the steering
column, replaced the blown fuse, but i can not reconnect the passenger
switch because it will allow the window to continually go 'up' and
will blow the fuse again.

what else can i check? can the issue be with the master control
switch on the drivers side door?

thanks,
Fish

I was thinking that if the master switch was off you could proceed.

Alan,

you are probably right. i should be able to disconnect the master
switch, then connect the passenger switch, and it should be
operational with the passenger switch. and if it is, then the problem
should be in the master switch.

thanks,
tom

If you don"t have any kind of service manual, a parts diagram from this
Honda dealer might be a good place to start.

Be thankful that it is up and not stuck in the down position.

i am very thankful.

i just took the control apart, and the passenger window electronic
control has had a blowout. there is a hole in the side of the
component, so if i desolder this and replace it i should be good to
go. the trick is to find one of these buggers.

can anyone recommend an excellent electronics company?

thanks,
fish

I would recommend RAE in Burnside. But that may not work for you, if you're
not in the greater Halifax area of Nova Scotia. {;^)

hehe, that would be too far, unless they ship. i will check with my
local dealer in westerville ohio. roush honda.

LOL! One of the reasons it's important to say where a person is, when on the
World Wide Web. {;^)
