Power windows not working
 
My 1990 Accord 4 door power windows stopped working. First all windows except the drivers stopped, then drivers window stopped. Fuses are okay and I pulled the relay and put 12 VDC to it. The relay was clicking but I did not have an ohm meter to check to see if the circuit is closing. Any suggestions on trouble shooting?
Thanks.

The fact that all but the driver's stopped working first points toward the driver's door switches. I'm thinking that the lock-out broke first and lead to a short that killed the switches. If I were you, I'd go to the junkyard to see if you can find another switch to try out.

Try moving the wiper speed dial to the middle position then crank the car.

Lol lol .. not everything gets fixed that way,,,, ;) it would be nice ...:)

Steve for the 3 windows exc the driver's... You by any chance don't have the switch turned off do you ??
on the main switch there is a little button that if flipped to the off position, pass and rear windows do not work,,

You hot wired the relay coil and made it click the switch closed, but you can hot wire the switch half, actually jumper it and forget about the coil half for now, you know it works. Actually you dont hot wire the relay, you pull the relay and hot wire the socket switch terminals on the car.

I know that,, But if you read what he said,, He said that first the other 3 windows did not work , then the driver side went out,

chk fuse # 33 dash fuse box 20 amp ..
chk both sides of the fuse for power , if you got power at both sides the relay is ok,,

alright, I just thought that you might have missed that item since you were asking about the lock-out switch.

I just suggestedthe wiper speed dialtrickcause it works sometimes, it takes 2 seconds, and it's free. Chiovnidca tells people to do it sometimes when their windows start acting up. From what I understand, it resets something within the window motors or something like that.
