3 broken windows

So I got in my car this morning and wanted to drive with all the windows down except none of them went down except for the drivers side window. You can hear the power being sent to the window but its not working. It shouldn't be a motor issue because all 3 went out at once. I also checked the fuse box and the fuse seemed fine. So I'm stumped. Any tips?

Yea I checked the lock :P The wierd thing is you know how when you do lock the windows the other 3 lights on the window switch turn off? Right now, even when the windows are unlocked the back two do not light up.

Sounds to me like something in the electrical system. I would use a volt meter to test for voltage at different points in the electrical wires. i.e. at the 3 different motors, fuse box, control panel, etc. Might be able to find a wiring diagram online somewhere. Good luck!

Never noticed the light thing. Maybe your window motors have gone bad or something. Not too sure, I'd use the dealer if you're still under warranty.

First order of business would be to take off the driver door panel and unplug and replug the main harness. It's too unlikely that the individual 3 ends have a problem...i would start at the brain in the driver door. Use some dielectric grease to ensure good contact etc...have you driven with window cracked and rain lately...etc...smilled something....who knows.

I brought it to the place I bought my car and they couldn't figure it out. Theres no way the three motors went out at the same time. I'm bringing it to the Acura dealer near me because its under warranty, but I'm guessing they'll give me a hard time because I have a sub installed even though thats been in my car for a year.
