I recently purchased a 2009 honda fit sport and so far I love the car. The only problem I am having is that the rear left window wont roll down from either the main switch or the rear switch. I have already checked the fuse its fine. Does it make sense to buy a new main switch panel if neither switch works or could I need a new motor?

 

It would make much more sense to do some electrical testing before spending money needlessly.


Voltmeter? Test light?
A simple #194 light bulb inserted in the window motor connector can illuminate much valuable information.

 

Even better forget it and use the other three.

 

Thanks got it all figured out.

 

So what was it! Dang cliffhanger... !

 

lol my bad. I'm not sure exactly I think there might have been dirt in the switch plug or something. I took part of the door panel off and unplugged the master switch, blew compressed air in it and then put it all back together. I kept flipping the switch and the window started to work.

 

Motor might have been stuck....I see that sometimes when the windows haven't been opened in a long time. Sometimes I can hold the switch down and slam the door real hard and that jars the motor enough to get it working again......

I usually expect that the owner won't ever use the window so the next time I see the car 2 years in the future it won't work again.

 

I'm sure the motor being stuck was all it was. Ill have to make sure that I let all the windows down every now and again to prevent that from happening again.
