Rookie
Passenger front window was slow then stopped moving. I had replaced the motor in the driver front window 9 months earlier, but this window is in a door that was replaced with a used door after an accident. The insurance agreed to replace the motor, but after the replacement any attempt to use the window would cause a fuse to blow. The Body Shop said they were not qualified to figure out the electrical problem and sent me back to my Dealer service Shop. Dealer says it is a Master Switch - cost $326. Wish I knew whether this was accident related and why it is happening. I saw a recall on the CRV that looks like the same part.

Driver's side window will not go up or down. Not a motor or regulator problem, no noise. It failed before but would work after 3 or 4 pushes of the switch, now doesn not work at all.

Same problem with my two rear windows working intermittenly. Honda said a new motor for one is over $500/plus labor. Too expensive for me. Could this be a fuse?

Drivers' side window stopped working 1 year ago, seems as though motor attempts to work when button engaged. Have not fixed as of yet.....checked fuses and of course isn't the problem.

The power window switch on the driver's side that controls the passenger side power windows is fried. Smoke came out of the contactor accompanied by the smell of burning electrical components. All of the other power switches work fine, except for this one.

Rear passenger window has had motor replaced twice, now front paseenger window not working, was told it is not the motor but something in the switch. Had the garage put window all the way up and put tape over the button on the door handle, at this mileage/age will just not use the window.

Would get stuck about half way up, could pull up while holding the automatic window button up for a couple trys. If pulling up wouldn't work, restarting my car and pulling up would get the window to go up. The last time it worked only after restarting my car multiple times, and after multiple attempts trying to pull the window up. Now I avoid using until I'm able to get it fixed.
