Windows won't roll down... Any suggestions?

The motor is stuck. Take the door panel off and disconnect the motor from the door. Reach inside through one of the doors and press the motor against the frame of the door. Take a plastic or sand filled hammer and pound on the motor to get it working again.

It's a dealer secret. The motor basically gets junk built up in the magnets and get stuck from time to time.

How would all 3 motors get stuck at once lol? fat chance of that happening imo

Plus they didn't eventually slow down or anything. They were working fine the day before.

My guess is that it's something with the lock switch. I'm guessing it's stuck to locked for some reason. I would look around there.

Im gonna do some more troubleshooting today and see if I can figure it out. I'll keep you guys updated.

Okay so I tried taking the switch apart to see if I could see anything wrong with it. I also double checked all the plugs/harnesses. Everything seems to be in order.

I'm completely baffled here. Not even sure what to look at next.

did you check the lock switch? ( i mean the "guts" of it, not the actual switch, lol )

Yes I did, wasn't really sure what I was looking for, but everything seemed to be fine.

Also I plugged in another window switch (driver), and that one didn't work either. So I think the problem isn't the switch, but somewhere in the car itself. I'm not sure if there's any other fuses I need to check.

Im honestly baffled now. haha

Umm... try calling your nearest dealership and ask them about it. Ask them how the whole window setup is wired up, and maybe that will give you some sort of idea of how to troubleshoot this a little better.

Update: Got it working!

Turns out the new switch panels I got (passenger door + rear doors), had different insides than my car. Basically I have a 98, and the switch panels were off a 99 Accord. For some reason the insides of the switches were very different (even though the plugs were the same). But with a little tweaking my friend was able to get them to communicate with each other.

So now everything is working just fine!

Thanks again to all who helped

Glad I looked here before I posted a thread. My driver side window stopped working in the middle of me trying to roll up the window. I have yet to troubleshoot the problem because it happened as I got back from my lunch at work today.
All my other windows work, and this has happened to me once before. But after like 30-40 after the window stopped working, it started to work again. I am guessing it is a bad connection somewhere.
