Default Drivers Window will not roll up

I have a 94 accord sedan. The drivers power window rolled down and will not roll back up. I don't hear anything when using the switch. The other 3 windows work fine. I have purchased a new switch and motor/regulator and neither corrected the problem. Any idea what the problem may be? The fuse under the hood for the drivers window is good. I have read about an under the dash fuse box but haven't been able to find it. Could that be it. There is also a "black box" in the drivers door. Not sure if this is a control unit of some kind as I can't find any diagrams that show it. Help!

first off...like a always preach ........DIAGNOSE before replacing parts .........in your case too late for that

chk fuses.......under hood box,,# 28 20 amps,,if ok..\ since the other windows work relay is ok..

at main window switch ( key on) chk for power at green/white wire ......if you get power.. ,,,,At motor , with switch help in UP position chk for power at red/yellow,,
And switch held in DOWN position chk for power at red/blue

chk those and let us know

I have done considerable diagnostics and can't seem to come to a solution. I had the Honda dealer copy pages from the service manual without success. I bought the switch and motor pretty cheap considering the minimum of $200 they wanted just to drive it into the garage. Anyway, as I noted in my previous post, the fuse is good. The green and white wide has no power. Blue/black, white/yell and wht/blk all do have power. I did check for power at red/yel with switch up and no power there. Nor the red/blue with switch down. Is there a way to bypass the switch and hotwire the motor to at least power the motor up. If so what wire would I apply voltage to to drive the window up.

if no power at green/white,, and fuse is ok,, the issue is from underhood fuse box to switch a wiring issue,,,,,,,,,open the left door, chk the connector between door and body, pull back the rubber boot, it is a blue/gray connector , make sure that thwere is not a brake in any of the wires,, if wires look good, chk for power at the green/white wire there ,,

if no power issue is from underhood box to there,,

if power issue is from there to switch

Please let us know what you found. I am experiencing the same issues, as are a bunch of people on here from what I understand. I know that mine is an electrical issue, I just don't know exactly where it is coming from. Thanks to those that have posted on here so far... you have helped out a lot. My problem is that it works intermittently. It will go down fine for a while, but coming up is where it struggles or stops completely. Then the next time it won't go down. I hear the switch clicking. I have changed the motor/regulator due to the sluggish performance. I tested a new switch and had the same problems. I will be working the wires from the switch to the fuse box this weekend. I'm lucky that mine has stopped working in the closed position as I am in Seattle in the rain.

Any suggestions will help immensely, and I will post my answers as well.

my drivers windows is stuck closed. When I presse the down button it makes a load grinding noise like its stuck. I guess I need to change out the regulator in there.
