2007 Honda Accors LX sedan
So my rear passenger side window was acting up… a little crunchy slow and weak to raise. Then I got pulled over and when I tried to raise my window back up it was seized in the down position… all other windows work fine.
My diagnosis at the time was a bad window regulator, and planned on picking one up and fixing the next day. My short term fix was to cut the wire for the regulator assembly and tape the window closed. This worked fine.
I then bought and installed a new motor/track regulator assembly. I’m happy I did that because upon inspection of the old unit, it DID need replacing. However, I now have a new issue….
Even with the new unit the window won’t raise up. I’ve tried to trouble shoot the issue by checking fuses(all good), cleaning connections and then finally reinstalling the old motor by itself, disassembled from the wire and track, which I find it doing the same as my new part. Motor only does counterclockwise, towards lowered position.
What am I doing wrong here? Or what has broken, shorted since the window last raised?
FYI this is my first vehicle. I’m handy but not a tech or electrical guy by any means. Have sympathy and treat me like a child haha. Any help is appreciated.
