Are your power windows not working? If you checked all the fuses, and the power window still isn't working, it could be a bad switch, a bad motor, or bad wires. In this video, Len diagnoses a problem with the wiring at the door junction. Sometimes, wires could get pinched and broken where they pass from the body to inside of the door! He shows you how to find and fix a problem like this on any vehicle with power windows!

Love that you keep the videos short concise, not too fast, not too slow.
Don't stop.
I've had 2 windows that didn't work on 2 different cars, and in both instances the switch had gone bad. In the second instance, the dealer couldn't find the problem, but I finally figured it out and fixed it myself..
Your repair is good. The problem I see, is, the crimping tool !! I have seen many flat type crimps just pull out and Like you pointed out, IF, you crimp too hard you can cut the wires. Invest in a V crimping tool. This tool puts a V crimp in to the butt splice and is OSHA approved. I can say that for a while it was a little difficult to find these V crimp tools but, now even Harbor Fright has them. They are worth the effort and the money to get them.
If I keep watching you guys' videos I am going to have to open my own shop. Your videos are so helpful. I save a ton of money by watching your videos and doing everything myself. Thanks for the great content.
So many good vibes coming from you!!!
Thank you. I was able to get my window to go up following your tutorial. You really saved me a bundle.
Thank you for all the videos!! I always find exactly what I am looking for and you explain everything very well.
Thank you cuz I've been trying to figure out how to fix my windows it's been raining and I've had to start my car because my windows won't go up. Just thank you and I can fix myself and I don't have to wait around and worry about help from anybody else.
Yes the wear points, makes a ton of sense ! ( nissan navara d40 passeneger window wouldn;t work off the master, stripped linnings checked loose connecter wires only grabbed the hinge joint as an after thought ... window started working ,much cheers & like your no nonsense style !
Wow! You are so great! I watched the entire 5:16 video and the ending solved my problem. Had a malfunction in my wiring harness
Thank you very much! I've been trying to figure out why all my windows stopped working one day!
my wire was out of the insulated terminal connector too....wow thanks and God bless you!😇😍😎
That my friend, was a great help, especially the jointing fitting and application.
Wonderful,I succeeded to find my broken cable exactly on this place.
I had the same problem. Take the door panel off, push the rubber-boot away from the door and Body. Pull the damaged wire carefully a little out of the door or car and try to make the joint inside the door with a short piece of wire. That way there won't be a repair right in the flexible boot, otherwise the repair is to stiff and will brake.
worked for me , thanks!
Had a 2006 Honda Accord, that The driver window worked but none of the others. They didn’t work from the driver’s control nor from their own window control. I found a work around on you tube and did it and it worked. I connected 2 wires by the drivers control with a 10amp fuse. I have always wondered how this worked, any ideas? Thanks...Jim
PS.....the car had about 170,000 miles, this was in 2016.
Very enjoyable and helpful! Thanks.
Thank you
Love you’re energy! Thanks for the tips.
And then the Mecanic calls” all done, was the window regulator computer, it’ll be 1500$ it’s ready to pick up “. Lol
Thanks for taking the time to teach about the issues
Great video I have no power to the passage side of my Cherokee no broken wires. Drivers side works fine. My daughter put on the child lock on the passenger side and now the windows have stopped working any thoughts might have to replace the entire switch
Great video!!
Have the same issue with my 99 expedtion. Going to try this soon as the rain stops.
Not my solution. I was looking for basic fuse block info, but nice repair video 👍
None of my windows work but the rear driver side in my 04 Yukon, tested fuses and see no broken wires. Will replacing the master switch allow the rest of the windows to go down?
Good job...buddy...God bless...Amen
Great tip I got this problem I bought a new module for driver side still don’t work I will check wires thanks
Can you fix one windows again with without wire broken... Great lesson
I've got a strange problem with my left front passenger window ( my car is right hand drive, I'm in Australia ) and my right rear window, they both stopped working at the exact same time, both the drivers side and rear left windows work perfectly, my car is an 05, Subaru Outback,could you tell me where to start looking to sort this out please ??
Another great video guys,
I'm not to smart when it comes to auto electric's.
Thanks guys.
Great video.
Thanks buddy.
Good video, My 2022 Toyota Tacoma the shop changed the driver's door they installed the wire harness and now the 4 door's not working from the main switch, although they changed the main switch, what could be the problem?
Excellent video
Is there a way to test those wires in between the door and car? My issue is my passenger side windows and side mirror don’t seem to get power. I can lock/unlock the door from the driver controls and the speakers work on the passenger side as well.
I didn't know those connecters could be shrunk on the ends.
All of them can't be just some of them are they are labeled when you buy them heat shrink connectors
i have a 2014 VW CC and both the front and back passenger side windows aren't working. we checked the fuses and they're all good. we can't open the windows using the driver control switches or the doors' individual switches. we took the front door's switch panel off and it shows THAT window wasn't getting power.
is it possible there's a pinched or broken wire in that door hinge that controls both the front and back passenger windows?
Did you find the problem? I have drivers side front and back not working
Hi Art did you find a solution? I'm having the same exact issues with my passenger front and back windows. Driver window works just fine. Thank you!
I have a 2011 Camry Hybrid model. Had the rear passenger side window motor replaced, and now all windows work fine but that one... the control on that door itself works but the master up front doesn't... any ideas what could cause this? Thank you!
My driver side window don't work. Can you please give me some advice on how to fix it please
I’m looking to buy a 06 impala3.5L 58419 miles for 3k. Have not seen yet but going tomorrow. Supposedly the windows and the radio don’t work. Idk if it’s related or two different issues. Any thoughts? I’m assuming fuse or relay. Idk yet. One owner, so good there and one reported accident, which it was repaired. Appreciate any feedback
Where can I buy that fuse tester? Thanks
Thank you!
Always been curious if you guys film this stuff at your Littleton where house?
This video probably saved me a lot more aggravation ....thanks!

i have a honda crv 2011 UK model and all the buttons work on the master switch expect for the front passenger side window, it is neither going up or down, but the window open n closes when you use the button on the front passenger side door, what could be the reason for this to happen?
I seen the wires in my car, and they weren’t torn apart but two of the wires are only exposed just not torn. Can that also be the reason why there’s no power going through? Switch is good and regulator and fuses.
I have the same problem with my f150 2006 the driver side window stopped working, what you recommend me to do same thing with the jeep in the video, check the fuses and wires,
Thank you sir my car corolla 2006 le window power fuse problem I don't know the power window fuse location please guide me
I'm gonna go ahead and thank you
Hi I have a 2014 Dodge Charger and I have a window that doesn’t wanna go up or down but I hear a clicking noise coming from a box on the inside of the panel and it has a blue clip on top right, on the left there’s a purple, underneath that there’s white and then a black do you think that’s what it could be… please let me know thank you..
Hello, I cut the wrong wire in my 2011 Ford Edge when trying to disable my door ajar warning. It was the driver door window wire. I’ve since cut the right wire and put the window wire back together but window won’t work. I changed # 1 fuse still not working. What could I do next?
Thanks 👍
good vid but I would prefer to solder a 1" extension piece between the two with some heat shrink on the joints. I don't trust those crimped on joints, especially in that particular situation.
+shed.projects Thanks for the feedback!
I got a 2006 yukon and the front passenger window is the only one working..and yes I can tell someone has already been into it before
Thnx
Hi my crown Victoria 2000 rear window cable is broken how can I replace it for a new one n how much will it cost
cool, thank you sir for sharing !!
Lost manual book to keep compass 2014 trying to find fuse to power windows as driver side doesn’t work all the window work.
I have a 2004 Chevy tracker and replaced the window regulator on the passenger side and the window still doesn’t work. What is the problem now?
Thank you so much for that I appreciate that thank you again
Usually does this also affect the lock and unlock? I'm having the same issue for my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. The driver side master switch only works for the two back windows and the driver side mirror that angles my blind spots. The passenger door locks and unlocks work and don't work at times and the button for the window going up or down doesn't work. I changed the fuses, and circuit breaker and still doesn't work. The wiring is the only thing I haven't checked. My father says it's the motor regulator. I doubt it.
I’ve got the same problem on an 04 did you get it fixed if so what worked
Great video
My Nissan patrol le 2011 only the driver side window is working but rest is not. How can I do?
I changed the fuses but two windows still don't work. I'll check for broken wires, but can I just switch out the master switch?
+STEPHANIE MOORE We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My passenger side window will only go down. It will not return back up. I checked the wires in between the door and that wasn't the issue as there are no broken wires. I can hear the motor engage when I press the switch to lower it, but it's already all the way down so it can't go down any further, and there is no noise that implies activation when I try to raise it. In addition, the power mirror, one of the lights for the third climate control knob and the light for the clock have all stopped working as well. Is this a wiring problem in the dashboard somewhere?
@Flair Velocity no. It just randomly worked again one day and so I rolled it up and taped over the window switches. Sorry that I couldn't help.
Check fuses in fuse box or it could have a circuit breaker rather than a fuse....and the breaker may be bad. Find a diagram for fuse box, in owner’s manual or online or on the inside of fuse box cover to help locate fuse/breaker
I have a 1995Grand Chreek and I brought a new driver side switch and windows still not working 😕 and checked all the fuses what's my next step
My chevy hhr decided that my cruise control quit working how do I check it or should i.
JUST TURN THE ignation On the PRESS ON THE window UP BUTTON and bung the door till it works 👍
Nice
I have a 2001 2 door Grandprix GTP that had drivers door switch connection problem so I changed the switch and while that problem was fixed my passenger window now won't work! Thought maybe a regulator was bad but when button is pressed it doesn't seem to pull from power like dimming of lights etc. Any ideas?
Broken wire or bad ground
My issue is the master switch works but the passenger buttons do not. I have window lock off. With no broken wires or corrosion where else can I find the problem.
I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited V8. The two front power windows work but the two rear power windows do not work. On the passenger side rear power window it makes a noise but the window does not go up or down. The drivers side rear power window does not go up or down and does not make any noises. Does anyone have any solutions to the problems? Thank you
So i check the fuse and they are working. I made sure that the wires are all connected but I'm not getting any power to the wire. Where do I go from there?
1:16 sample for a beat on soundcloud
I had the wiring under hood chewed by squirrels had it fixed now my driver window won't work how do I go about fixing it and my radio does not show what time or station I am on do you have suggestions
It is a 2004 Jee Grand Cherokee special edition
Can y'all do a video on how to get the air out of 2009 chevrolet equinox cooling system please
+King Adams We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Hyundai Sonata 09 switch hums but doesn't move the driver window
Does my battery need to be disconnected when doing this?
Amazing really .. Thanks a lot
I have a 4runner and all windows work from there own switches but when i try and roll one down with the master switch it wont work even with a new switch
I have a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. Afew years ago my passenger side rear window slowly quit working. I taped a piece of cardboard to it. I was unable to fix it on my own or afford to pay to have it fixed. I moved from California to Arizona in 2018. 1100 miles, I had to stop about every 30 or 50 miles to Re-tape it.....lol. I went through a whole roll of Duct Tape! LoL. Then my brother in law helped me. He took off my door panel and put a 2" dowel under the window to keep it up. Then this year the moter on the driver's side rear window went out..... more cardboard, No duct tape!!!!!!! My passenger side all around the window is messed up with tape residue I am UNABLE to get off. I tried paint thinner, goop off......it will Not come off. 😱😭😰
only the rear driver side window not working and i cant locate power wire for that window
I have a Expedition 2001 and no windows get no power fuse is good where do I look
Now what happens when the driver side works up and down and all and the other window work going up but not down
I checked all my fuses both in the engine and beside driver wheel. I checked the wiring from behind door panel to between door and dashboard as your showing. When I probed the power window switch with test light for power all the wires lit up except for the multi green-yellow wire . That's when I thought to check if there was a broken wire somewhere but I didn't see anything. This is a 2011 Buick Lacrosse and my driver's master switch stopped working. Any idea what the green-yellow wire does? I can't find any info.
Good
my rear window on the driver side if it goes down it will not some back up, then after a while it goes back up
Only my driver side window is working but my other 3 windows doesn’t. There all getting power but just no movement. Any suggestions?
Ugh! I have the same problem but I haven’t checked the power yet… I was wondering if the different wires effect different windows or if, like the video, one wire effects all of them (obviously, I’m verrrry new to all of this! Lol!!)… Any insight would be helpful 😊.
Thanks,
Samone
14 Silverado-Both passenger windows do not work Other side is fine.
I have a 2011 Chevy HHR and no power windows I have power to the switch no broken wires yet no windows
You mumbled the last part. You said if 3 windows work & it's only one it's most likely mhgfddf. What did you say?
Mhgfddf is a motor. It was an esoteric term he shouldn't have used in a video aimed at us amateur mechanics.
I wish mine was this simple. I have a nissan x trails. Relay, motor, regulator, wiring loom, switch and master switch all been replaced. Nothing will get my passenger window up! Itll go down fine just not back up. Ive taken it to auto mechanics no one can find an issue! Argh );
Two front windows not working. What to check
All Four Windows isn't working for FORD 2007 escape xlt.l check everything just like you SHOW in your videos, but still not working; SO! The SUV runs great just know power windows: power in all four Windows?/ Do you understand me?
