i just bought an aftermarket alarm and a buddy and i installed it the other day. last night we were working out some bugs and blew the ignition fuse. i replaced the fuse and everything is working properly except for one small thing...... my passenger side window will not roll up!! we checked all the wiring and it all is working the way it should. except for no movement when the switch is engaged. the motor might be the problem but i don't know.... any suggestions?? is there a way that i can get my window to stay up until i find the problem?? thanks for the help

yeah all the fuses are good. i went through each one. i'm going to take my door panel off and see if it's the motor. anybody else got suggestions?

wow thats the same exact thing that happened with my alarm install about a year ago, window would not roll up but would roll down, i had it installed for me tho, they fixed it for me but dont exactly remember what it was hrmm...

found the problem....... it was a fried switch on the passenger side. we got the window to roll up by connecting the two wires that were going to the switch to the battery of a drill. now i don't have to worry about it raining.

just have to get a new switch.........

Since i bought my lude i had the same prob with the passenger side window only rolling down and not up. I took out the passenger side switch and took it apart and scraped the contacts inside the switch where i saw corrosion and now it works like new. HA, screw the Honda dealership that wanted about 80 bucks for a new switch!
