Exclamation Left-Rear Window (Acura EL 2005) is not working

My left-rear window is not working in my Acura 2005 EL. From the driver seat or from the left-rear door, I can't control the window. All my other windows are working from the driver seat or from their respective door switch. The fuse is not the issue. I don't hear a weird sound from the window motor. Any suggestions? It could simply be a wire issue I guess...

Unfortunately I don't see any way around pulling the door panel and checking out the wiring. Without a schematic it's really hard to say exactly where to check. For example the 2005 TL (I know you said EL) rear door switches, according to the schematic, have relays in them that control the window motor. So in the TL a rear switch failure could theoretically make the window not work from any switch in the car. But I digress...

I'd say pull the rear door panel and see if voltage is getting to the switch and the window regulator motor at all. You might also want to energize the motor directly with 12V to see if it moves. To me the most likely things are wiring to the rear door, the rear switch, the window regulator motor, or a jammed/broken regulator (but that would probably make some noise)

Thank you Adobeman for the help.
Yes you are right I will have to pull the door panel and check the wires. If only I can find my model's door schematic on how to pull the panel of the door correctly. I am afraid to break the door.

Perhaps this will help? Looks like a dude pulling off a panel what might be similar to your car. Is an EL an Acura-ized Civic?
