“Honda implies there are no serviceable parts inside. NONSENSE “ That line right there just gained you a new subscriber. Thank you! ❤😊
All the way over in Hawaii. I loved your information and flawless editing. I wish this quality of information was available when I was young. I love learning.
Of course replace it! You are in CORPORATE AMERICA! (You are a breath of fresh air for your attitude. See if you can fix it.)
This was a good video that went into the depth of the root cause of the window failure. Great job!
You can also say OL is open line. Just to save you from explaining why did it over load. This was an excellent diagnosis and break down demonstration. Thank you.
I have just been scrolling through the comments and naturally, you have a lot of rave reviews. I liked the way you went to the trouble of setting your camera up so that you could actually DO a two handed job WITH two hands. Most seem to fumble while trying to do everything with one hand, and consequently the camera work suffers severely. Anyone watching these types of videos are trying to learn something, and they are watching intently. Shaky camera work makes it very hard to follow. ALL instructional videos are appreciated, because someone has taken the time to have a go at helping others.
Yours just happens to be fantastic.
Cheers from down under.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for your help, cleaning the brushes and commutator fixed the motor on my father's Suzuki Jimny. Re-greased, re-assembled and worked a treat.
I’m understanding a lot of this very well presented thank you
The frustration with a disposable society and those two idiots are understandable. You did a great job with the thorough step by step troubleshooting and repair. Thanks!
Very instructive, detailed, straight forward presentation! Great job, this guy knows his stuff. The best thing is, he likes to share it. I got lucky by finding this video, should've been in Vegas! Thanks!

I have no idea what this video is about but I cant stop watching.
This answers the age old question: " what if Sherlock Holmes had a Honda?"
Thank you so much! Your video is awesome and sooo thorough! I was trying to diagnose why the passenger window in our new to us van wouldn't go down. Using a test light I realized the switch worked and that the motor was getting juice. The window wouldn't go down though. Thanks to your video I knew exactly what I was in for when I took the motor apart. Mine had a ton of carbon flake build up. Once I cleaned all the black crap off the copper panels and pushed the brushes out as far as I could it worked good as new after it was all back together. The brushes in mine can only get pushed out so far though so I'm hoping I can find replacements! Thanks again!
Hi from Portugal. I just finished the repair of my regulator thanks to you :)
Thank you very much for sharing.
Best regards.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, my friend for an EXCELLENT video. Great information, great camera work and great audio. I feel I have enough information to attempt repairing my passenger side window in my 1993 Acura Integra. This video felt like an online course! Good work!
Glad you enjoyed it
Cannot believe your video--great job explaining the workings of all the parts--thank you so much.
You are welcome!
Very thorough troubleshooting on the electrics, thank you. A tip for reassembly......the longer “d” sized bolts should be partially threaded into the motor and the runner before inserting it into the door. Those bolts then go through the holes and allow you to rest the motor and rail in position. Then lower the window glass onto the plastic mount, and then install all the “c” sized bolts and then tighten all bolts. Good video👍
Thanks for the info!
Excellent tutorial. Clear and easy to follow. Amazing camera work. This guy is the best!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for that.Replaced the switch,replaced the temic module,inspected the wires in the loom.Didn't work.Wasted,I looked at this again,took the motor apart following your clear instructions,found one of the brushes was stuck out of contact with the armature.Another operation made possible by youtube and people like you wanting to help others.Thanks again!
thanks again!
Nice work and thanks for watching!
Excellent work dude. Helped me without replacing the full power window system. Thanks a lot.
Glad it helped
A tip, should you need to take that motor back apart. The Armature contacts with the carbon tracking can be cleaned effectively with a simple pencil eraser, if you wish to get more aggressive, you can use a very fine grit (600) sandpaper. But a pencil eraser is cheap, available and leaves little dust. After cleaning with an eraser, use a chemical electric parts cleaner, Like CRC QD Electrical parts cleaner spray. I've repaired many motors this way. You did a great job!
Cheers, mate, thanks for watching!
Maybe the best how to video I’ve ever seen!
Well Done! Could not have been more articulate and well taught! Wish all instructors were as clear and well spoken and as well educated in the subject that they attempt to convey. Lee, Florida
Yep. You can replace the motor without even pulling the glass and regulator out in a lot of situations. Still, the other mechanical parts can fail due to mechanical wear and then we're back to square one... Don't know why his unit costed $350 but maybe you can look around. Go to a junkyard if you absolutely have to! Obviously this guy doesn't mind a little work to troubleshoot and that's more fun to ME anyways!
Imagine doing all this as a novice and then realizing it was just a bad switch. 🤣
So informative that if you had been telling step by step how to work Rubik's cube, I could pick one up in a week from your instructions and work it as you laid it out.
Thank you for that course. I won't ever forget it.
Glad it was helpful!
Very detailed explanation of the entire process. Well done.
Best Video on CZcams Thank you!
you are really good with problem solving, thanks!!!
THIS IS EXCELLENT. WELL PRESENTED. EASY TO UNDERSTAND and FOLLOW. I FIXED the REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW in my 2005 Honda CRV. It went down - BUT WOULD NOT GO UP. I received a quote of OVER $900 from the DEAER and around $400 - for the SAME WORK - from a local shop. By following your GUIDANCE and ADVICE in the video - I determined the problem was not the MOTOR for the REGULATOR . It is the SWITCH. YOU SAVED me $400. I would not take it to the DEALER............ THANK YOU !
Cheers, mate, glad to hear!
THIS GUY IS BRILLANT!
Thank you for caring enough to make a detailed video. I appreciate it very much! God Bless!
You are so welcome!
Thank you thank you thank you heaps that was the best easy to follow video I have seen on a project I am just about to do. 110% . Cheers from down under in Australia
Only started watching but I can already say the gears & shaft will be gummed up with rust/crap - take apart, clean, bish bash bosh it works again. Nobody much fixes stuff any more - they just swap parts. I'm waay too tight for that - I fix EVERYTHING fixable. :-) If the window switch mucks up - it too can be stripped, cleaned & re-assembled.
Great upload. I had a similar issue and checked the motor. Brushes without springs- planned obsolescence by the manufacturer🙄 Bent the copper connections to move the brushes in along with a commutator clean and good as new. Thx for posting this, I hope this helps people out and saves them money. Subscribed- Thx
Very well done video. So easy to understand. Awesome job buddy thank you.
Awesome, just found you and you are AWESOME< Stay tuned!!!
Thank you brother, I just fixed my window motor, this saved me a lot of money. Appreciate you.
You're welcome!
Awesome video, very detailed...Thank You!!!
Wow, life changing tip there about dc motors in general. This will affect other areas and my business where i deal with non-automotive related dc motors. And love the logic and thoroughness going on, as well as the thematic, sardonic referencing to the previous tech-stooges. Thanks for the info and entertainment!
Thanks for watching, and for the top-of-the-line comment!
Great educating!! I appreciate your help and looking deeper to find the "Cause" of the failure, instead of just throwing it out! Very Impressive, I Had to subscribe, cuz you know your stuff!! Thanks again!!
Gloria Owensby..It was a very good educational video. He explained everything so well. I've subbed and liked too.
thanks a lot buddy , it realy helps a lot of people including me
Beautiful. Very helpful video. Thank you.
The most complete video, excellent thanks
This is one of best videos I have seen. I will try this on my tilt steering wheel motor that quit recently.
Glad it helped
This man is really good, thank you!
great information, i learned so much, thanks a lot, God bless...
Best DIY video ever. Thank you
superb explanation/tutorial! definitely deserves to be subscribed👊
Thanks for the sub!
Great detail my friend. excellent Break down.
Glad you liked it!
Solid logic, address the problem, as well as the symptom, to minimize the probability of recurrence. Refurbishing the original motor not only saves money, but reduces unnecessary waste and resource consumption. Extraordinary thinking and presentation by the author.
i wish u had a video on how to test the pins of the switch with a multi meter for continuity and how to tell which of the pins supply power
THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU ! ! ! It worked on my 2006 Nissan Frontier , I pulled my electric motor apart , it was real dirty ,cleaned contacts and made sure they moved back and forth ( they are spring loaded ) and cleaned end of elec. motor where contacts touch with electric clean. Works great. COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU ! ! ! THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU ! ! ! ! ! !
Congrats, nice work, mate.Thanks for watching !
very good explanation and great presentation.. thank you
Thanks man...great shares! Helps a lot.
Had one years ago for a caddy, it was expensive to buy..I took it apart, made some brushes..and it worked like a charm...I now have brush stock for any sort of power motors
Nice work!
Professional job ..thx bro
i got the tools n will start to do for jeep compass 14.. wish me luck :)
Thank you for your time. This will help me out a lot. Aloha!
Cheers,
Thanks to this video I just confirmed that two of my window motors which mechanics were saying are dead and have to be replaced are actually still ok and functioning!! This is after a bit of cleaning of the carbon brushes dust. Many many thanks 👍🏽
No worries, mate!
Amazing video so detailed
Mine, the brushes fell out of alignment. I opened it up, pushed the springs and brushes in place, and retested with 12v battery. Perfectly good motor.
Nice work!
Hello from Greece.
Thank you for that video.
I fixed my car window because of you.
You are great 👍!
Glad I could help, cheers!
Wow! This is tremendously informational and helpful. Especially enlightening how instructions on car manual all end with "replace it" and waste useful mechanical and electrical components! Waste of money & materials! You should be a professor. Thank you so much for your detail oriented video!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome explaination and diagnosis
@theoverengineer, Wow! and Excellent!... I'll bet I can fix my window that just quit with your help on this video. (Excellent English too ; ) THANK YOU!
Excellent video! Thanks!
I ll try it now...thank you so much
Sir thank you very much of reminding me to do all the testing, cleaning observing the parts and the mechanism of the power window motor and switches for doing so you found the problem. You definitely save yourselves some money and following the service manual if it does not operate ANY MORE REPLACE IT. WOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY PROBLEM IS ALSO THE SAME BUT BEFORE WE REPLACE IT OBSERVE INSPECT BEFORE REPLACE IT..
THANK YOU SIR..
No worries, thanks for watching.
this guy is awesome
One Awesome Teacher, THANKS.
You're very welcome!
Excellent presentation and overall review.........Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am presently experiencing this very problem with my Town Car.
Glad it was helpful!
Personally, I knew exactly what U did. If I hadn't; superb job explaining. Thank U Sir!
So nice of you!
A brilliant video of how to fix and not just replace. The master switch driver window on a corolla 2003 works intermittently. I remember disassembling the switch but I'm yet to take apart the door panel to investigate if the motor is an issue or if it is the switch OR if it is the window tracks. A project for the following week as you have given me some excellent points especially investigating on the switch aspect. I'll check em again and pull apart the window panel. Thanks for taking time and making this video.
I bypassed the master switch today and narrowed this issue down to most likely motor or possibly the slide track for the glass not being very smooth. Either way I'll have to inspect that once i open the door panel That is postponed for the next weekend.
No worries, thanks for watching!
Excellent explanation
You already got me from not happening remarks (to pay the $300 plus charge). I will try to do it on my own Nissan Rouge 2016 passenger side. It does not go up. Thank you so much. I also like your tools, the 12v battery, and tester. I have a tester before but I think I lost it. Keep on posting DIY.
Thanks
super detailed, simply explained and generally enjoyable. muchas gracias!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Amazing video. Fantastic close ups of trouble shooting and problem solving. Best I've seen so far on YT. I needed this video and I thank you so much for your work and sharing of this information. Peace to you and your household.👍💯👌
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video & very well explained. I have a similar issue with my Chervolet Captiva on the passenger side & the rear window too of the RHS & the GMC wants me to replace the both the assembly’s, thanks to your video I will fix it !!!
Glad it helped
Great video!!! Gonna fix mine now. Thanks!!!
Glad it helped
8:15 That seems to be the really critical point, cleaning those gaps out very well, and cleaning off the face as well. I used a fine sewing needle for the gaps and spray electrical contact cleaner. Had mine apart a couple of times today trying to get some function working better. Until today, it was getting erratic, and sometimes not moving at all. First attempt at cleaning had very limited success. It would work but sounded very rough and quit frequently. Took it all apart again and cleaned it even more thoroughly, cleaned and greased the sliders... sounds and works much better than it has for quite a while.
thank very much ,although different than my 2008 Nissan Titan Crew Cab , same principles applied , my brushes were spring loaded ,I cleaned up everything like you showed and worked perfectly
Nice work, mate! Thanks for watching
Cool vid dude, I need to dismantle my own Citroen Relay vans drivers door assembly to fix the window motor that's not working, your video has given me an idea of what to look for and how to fix it.. cheers mate
Thx 4 watching!
@@theoverengineer got a result mate, after removing the door panel and getting out the switch assembly I dismantle the switch itself, gave the contacts a light rub over with fine grit wet n dry paper, a squirt of contact spray and up and down went my window.. result.. so without having to dismantle the whole window winding assembly.. shaboom.. i'm now a happy easter bunny lol
Bravo, very explanatory! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
My neighbor took his Honda into the Honda dealership for service standard oil change and what not he told them he was having issues with his windshield spray it wasn't spraying on the passenger side it was just dribbling they said they looked at it and they couldn't find what's wrong he told me this so I popped the hood and found in literally 5 seconds The kink hose going to the windshield washer nozzle and solve the problem this is how well educated people are at these manufacture dealerships which is absolutely absurd because you go to them expecting the best service and it's a joke that they're even working on vehicles The ones that know what they're doing have retired and the ones that are working are just out of school with little to no training if training at all they probably don't own their own tools d
Thanks so much for your knowledge sharing bro!
My pleasure!
I was about to drive a friend to pull a part , but did your test & repair and now its fixed. Thank you for the tutorial.
hahaha those hand signs got me laughing while your talking
Thx man. Taught me a lot... N how to save money
Thank you sr exelent work
First of all, THANK YOU so much for the video and help. I had a feeling this "motor is bad" story from the dealer/mechanic was somewhat BS. I have a Tacoma that had an issue on the rear passenger side while still on a warranty, they changed the motor and said it was bad. A few years later when the warranty was up the other rear window did the same. As you and others advised, I checked the switch and I saw green built up on the pins, and under the contacts, so the rocker wasn't really operating properly giving no continuity. I don't have a fancy set up like yours but after cleaning it, magically it had continuity. I put a bit of petroleum jelly on the pins and in the switch as well to lube the rocking mechanism. BOOM saved 90 dollars from buying a new switch.
Again THANK YOU
Nice job!
Great video
dude thank you ... I learned a lot!
Glad I could help!
