You start by removing the door panel, then you will have access to the whole inside of the door. There you will need to locate the motor which is usually closer to the front of the car (or near the door hinges/ speaker). You will need to find the plug to the motor and unclip it. Next you will need to remove the window (because there is never enough room to work in the small access holes that they give you) which is held onto the track by two bolts/clamps, then proceed to remove the motor which is attached to the window track section. So once you have removed the window track mechanism with the motor attached you will notice that there are rivets from the factory holding it in place . Which entails you drilling out the rivets to be able to remove the old motor, then once removed, you will need to reattach the new motor with little bolts or re-rivet it back together. Note: you need to make sure that there is no play/slop in the new motor when it is reattached or the gears will become stripped/eaten by the motor. Then reassemble working from removal to reinstalling. Be sure to check new motor by plugging it in before complete assembly, you will need to adjust it in order to reattach window and to get the mechanism back in the tracks. Take caution not to pinch your hands/arm while adjusting motor to allow lining up of window and tracks. Best of luck

97 Accord power window. Driver side window not moving.
I would check the switch. I had a 97 Accord LX coupe for 20 years and replaced the driver window regulator several times (had been hit on that side so I dont think things lined up right, wearing out the regulator). Every time the regulator messed up it was because the cable that attaches to the window would break at a plastic piece. The window would almost always fall into the door. Once the cable was loose and got wrapped around something but the window still fell down some. Regulator would make a horrible grinding noise as the cable got tangled. So if your window worked fine one day and nothing the next, I would start with the switch. It's possible the motor died, but that never happened to me, even with cheap aftermarket units. Could also be a broken wire. Might need to take door panel off and test for power at the plug for the regulator. If power- replace regulator. If no power- keep working back to the switch. I replaced the power mirror control with a used one from ebay, so it's possible to find an oem switch.

Power lock and power windows dont work can`t find fuse

Number 21 is for the door lock fuse and relay, its a 10 amp fuse.
Number 7 is for the body control module, its a 10 amp fuse.

The fuse panel is under back seat.If all fuses checked out ok,then its faulty drivers door module called as DDM.

The drivers side window stoped working on my 2004 silverado the passenger side works fine
Try the fuse. The switch may be faulty so check by removing the inner door panel and connecting a 12v battery via two wires to the motor that winds the window up and down. If it goes up and down it's probably the switch which may just need a clean on the terminals.

Driver's side window regulator
I just replaced the regulator in my mother's 98 civic ex and didnt need any special tools. I do recommend replacing the glass run channels on either side of the window. I have replaced the regulator twice and it is still having problems as I haven't replaced the run channels. If not replaced very soon I can see myself replacing the regulator...yet again!
