HELP! Will + rep you if you do! My friend drives a 97 Accord LX

the drivers side power window stopped working. He can make the window roll down, but not roll back up. All the other windows work okay. I'm guessing its the switch? Thanks!

If the window rolls down...Its unlikely that its the switch....I bet its the motor....Check to see if the window goes up with you helping it along....If it does go up slowly with help...its the motor

I had this happen in my 02 vic. Unplug the switch make sure its clean and then plug it back in. all the switches have to be connected in order to have a complete circut so try it after that.

I doubt that a connector is unplugged since the other 1 or 3 roll down and up fine. The affected window, if I understand correctly, rolls down but not up. That would not be a disconnection problem....that would be a lack of proper voltage at the solenoid/motor or a bad solenoid/motor
Now wheres my REP!!
j/k

Can you hear the motor click when you try to roll it up? if you see that the motor doesn't even try its the switch but if you notice that the motor tries its either the regulator or the motor, but I work at a Salvage Yard and probably you won't be able to just find the motor or the regulator by it self......you got to buy them together.....

motor won't click. even if you press the switch, window wont roll up. cant get the window up at all. do we have to remove the door panel and replace the switch?

normally you can pop the piece off where the switches are and just replace it without removing the whole panel.I had the same wierd problem with my vic days ago. After reseating the connector and cleaning the contacts it started working again. just a test it may be more than that for you but just my .02
