Default window problem in 2001 accord

New to this forum and looking for help. I did a search and there's a lot of info on window problems but didn't find anything like my problem so here I am.

My daughters car developed an issue a few days ago but go figure she didn't tell me until last night. Three of the windows quit working, both back windows and the front passenger. Doesn't matter if trying to activate from the individual control or the drivers master control. Drivers window works fine. I checked the fuses and they are all fine. Thinking that checking for power at each window is next step but found it weird that something would happen to 3 windows at the same time. Wouldn't think the problem is forward of the fuse box and it would almost seem that the problem would have to be near the fuse box.????

Any ideas?

Thanks, Kirk

First check that the Main Switch on the driver's door is not switched OFF.

If it is ON, it may be a problem with the Main Switch, which does commonly occur.

See attached pics. from owner's manual.

Good Post RB!

I thought I remembered all windows being disabled by Master Switch on some Accords. Is my memory wrong?

regards

Default honda window

All I can say is WOW, do I feel stupid. I never use the child lockout switch so I didn't even think of it. Not sure if there are any models where it disables all of the windows but it took out the three on this car. Guess the old adage of "you have to be smarter than what you are working with" holds true.
Thank you very much for your help!

Of the three Accord manuals I have 90, 94, and 2003-2007, all only disable the pax windows and never the driver's window.

good luck
