I found it necessary to forward this if it will help add some clues to the experts for further advice before I start tracing the main switch.
Thanks so much. It sounds like you are resetting the module controller in the drivers door. I would try to find a used one to plug in and try. Or use a test light and check the input and output voltage. Hi, mr. Ken thanks so much for your time, attention and advice through my problem and sorry for my delay in replying since last reply, I was on a village trip where I couldn't access any tools nor junkyards to work on my car.
Am back now and have found a driver's door control module from a nearby junkyard, I'll try replacing it today and get back to you with the result. Please let us know what happens and upload pictures or videos of the problem. Cheers, Ken Was this answer. Hi, I replaced the main door's module with another one but the problem still persisted.
Or could it be a sign of a failing ccm? The process of removing the door panel will vary depending on your particular car. Remove the vapor barrier, which is usually held in place with butyl ribbon sealer.
Visually inspect cables or window guides for broken or misaligned pieces. If you see a loose or broken cable and hear the motor moving when you hit the window switch, the window regulator may need to be replaced. If the cables are intact and the guides are aligned, the window motor may have stripped gears.
Remove the motor from the regulator to check. Replace or repair any parts that are broken or stuck. Lubricate moving parts and window guides, and clean the window glass. Reinstall the door panel using the reverse process to how you removed the panel. Follow these steps to repair an electrical issue with your car's windows : Locate and check the fuse for the problematic window motor.
If it's blown, replace the fuse. A blown fuse can indicate increased power draw due to a binding or worn mechanical component, so you should continue with then mechanical repair process once you replace the fuse.
Remove the door panel. My girl friend has a H3 also, now I need to tackle her problem, no heater motor, no heat or AC. I had this problem on mine so I know what it is, still a pain, and all computer related. Good luck all and good nite. I know this is about 4 year later : but I came across this issue today with my H3 and found this thread while searching for solutions. After trying a few of the solutions mentioned here my Dad and I decided to just take the door panel off. I pulled the control panel out and put it back together, then with dielectric grease on the plugs and the fuses were good.?
I read all of the other advice and tips around this issue and had to complete all of the above to resolve my exact same issue after replacing a dead battery. Problem was finally corrected after a driving around for several errands and restarting the vehicle about 4 times over a 5 hour period. Did all of the above 3 times on my Finally I pulled the door switch and took it apart 4 screws cleaned the contacts and re assembled.
Just be careful when taking it apart Now I don't know if it was the cleaning of the switch or the new battery the old one had good power but was 6 yrs old so I figured what the heck Either way the only thing I did differently with the battery on my 3rd attempt was to leave it disconnected longer, appox 45 mins while I ate dinner. When I went back and connected it, everything worked. Thanks to all the posters for your assistance. Great info and it saved my cheap!
Removed switch from door removed 3 screws on bottom of switch took completely apart removed plastic pins and cleaned out with can of air and windows works and so does power locks. Easy fix.
I Have had this problem before and if you have any aftermarket remote car start it scrambles the bcd body control module and whenever you disconnect the battery it will do this also as it causes the computer to get confused and stuck in between modes eventually the car will go back to normal its just a matter of time.
Thank you for info. Driver power window and door locks lost signal. Removed Pos and Neg battery connections waited 5 minutes hooked battery back up problem solved. Harris harrisdale. H3 left a door open over night ran battery down, boosted and then the problem with the driver door and power locks started. Was told when battery goes low it sets off the problem just need to reset it by unplugging the battery for 5min. Give it time it does reset!
The first fix to try when ever any part of your window and door control panel or any electrical function for that matter does not work or is not working correctly is to disconnect the negitive battery cable, that's the non hot side. Leave the hot side connected.
By leaving the negative cable disconnected over night the computers will reset and solve a lot of electrical issues. If nothing else this give you a potential very easy fix and has worked for me on many make of cars and trucks. Had the same issue drivers door lock and power window not working and I read all of the solutions posted. I did get it resolved doing the following;.
Driving the car, stopping and waiting for several minutes and shifting the gear lever in and out of gear along with a fully carged battery will solve it most of the time. If not, then it may be the switch indicated in the other postings. Think the combined action of charging the battery and the driving soved it because all was well about 3 hours after driving around doing errands.
Just happened to me. I took master panel out and unplugged everything and put it back together. It works fine. My battery was a little low so I think this is wht set it off. I love my h3 but it sure has some strange design flaws. Barbara Merkel. I had the same problem as listed above: The driver door window and locks stopped working out of nowhere. I printed the solutions and gave them to my husband. He found that one battery terminal was slightly loose - not much - and there was slight corrosion on the terminal post as well.
He disconnected the battery terminals, cleaned the posts, left them disconnected for about 20 minutes, put them back on and TA DA Boy, I sure am glad I didn't take this issue to a mechanic; no telling what the charge would have been. I had this problem on and off for a few months. On the master board are three relays. I ordered them at mouser. I replaced them and it hasn't happened since. As a long time master mechanic, I really have to advise against removing the positive cable-always remove the negative cable from the battery.
Hit the same metal removing a negative cable and nothing will happen.
