Problem overview

Some Honda Accord owners report experiencing issues with window failures on both the driver and passenger sides, where the windows are unable to fully close. These problems can often be attributed to a malfunctioning window switch, which may wear out, get stuck, or develop internal shorts. Additionally, some owners find that resetting the power windows can help, requiring specific steps such as turning on the ignition and manipulating the window control switch. Noise issues, particularly a pronounced sound of air rushing into the cabin at speeds over 45 mph, may indicate problems with window run channels that Honda has attempted to address. Furthermore, some owners report auto-up function problems, where the window goes up and then reverses on its own, possibly due to a faulty window control unit or dirty run channels. Other causes of power window malfunctions include incorrectly functioning fuses, motors, wires, and switches. If these issues persist, it is advisable for owners to consult a professional mechanic or contact a Honda service center for further assistance.
