I have a 93 civic ex 2dr
and my question is am i suppose to have either 12v or power to the connector that hooks up to the window switch with the key on and all fuses are good? b/c when i put my multimeter or my test light to see if theres power going to the switch i get nothing. so what do you guys think may cause this problem. i dont want to go ahead and buy a new motor and regulator without knowing why i'm not getting any power to the switch first. thanks

 

Yes, depending on how you are doing the voltage test and which terminals you are testing:

you checked the fuses under the dash? if ya dont have any power then id say check ur fuses.

 

ok guys i put direct power to the white and yellow wire to the connector of the switch and my window started working so now i'm down to 2 possibilities an open wire or a bad relay. Does anyone know how to test the relay before i go tracing the wire. thanks

 

First check whether fuse 5 (under-dash) or 36 (under-hood) is blown.

If these fuses are fine, test the power window relay in the under-dash fuse/relay box as follows:

 

Fuses are ok relay is ok guess its time to start tracing the wire thanks

 

Start by using a test light to determine whether you have power at fuse 5. With the ignition key ON, briefly touch one probe to the battery side of fuse 5 and the other to ground. If the test light turns ON, then you have power. You may also want to use a continuity test to verify fuse 5 is good.

If all the above tests are fine, then use a continuity tester to check the WHT/YEL wire leading to the window switch.

 

where would i find the number 36 fuse. i know you said under the hood fuse box is that the one located all the way in corner by the battery if so which one is 36

 

also how would i do that continuity test

 

Yes, by the battery. Fuse 36 (50A):
