I SEE FLAMES coming out the driverside window switch
so start blowing on the switch, it goes out and smokes some more... then i rip out my screw driver and take apart the door skin and remove the switch... the WHOLE CIRCUT BOARD .. apparently melted to the plastic and the switches ,frying all the windows except the driver side one. Now my car SMELLS LIKE THERE WAS DEAD BODY IN IT. The windows dont roll down.. and the switch is 61.75 from majestic honda.
God I hate my civic... I just wanna burn the rest of it tonight and collect the insurance. too bad i have too much invested in it .
