Problem with Power Windows

I am a newby to the forum and am finding a lot of great information, but I haven't seen any posts on my particular problem.

I have a '04 TSX that I bought used about 18 months ago. It's a great car and is in good shape. About 3 months I let me teenage son take the care out and when he came back, both power windows in the rear and on the passenger side had stopped working. He says he had all the windows down and they all came back up fine when he was out. On the way home he did notice that the windows were not working, but there was not spark or some prior.

I know power is getting to the windows because I can hear a click at the respective door when I try to lower that window. I have checked the owners manual and looked at the fuses and all appear to be fine. I can accept that one motor might "go out" and need replacing, but I have difficulty believing that 3 motors would fail simultaneously.

Obviously I'm hopping it is a fuse or similar component that I can replace. I am certain this will cost me dearly if I have to visit the dealership.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What about the little square button next to the lock/unlock button on the driver's side door? If that's pressed in, only the driver's window will work.

I just had the EXACT problem in my wife's Odyssey. 3 remote windows do not work but "click" can be heard at their respective areas. Drivers window works fine.

I can all but guarantee that the switch panel got really wet for whatever reason (drivers' door, inside, under the 4 switches and includes the door lock switch). EDIT: Part number: 35750-SEC-A01 SWITCH ASSY., POWER WINDOW MASTER. It's about $200 new, $165 online from AcuraOEMParts.com. I'm sure it can be found from a scrapper for under $100.

The job takes about 10 minutes to do... just be careful when prying up the panel such that you don't scratch or crack it. Swap out the switch assembly (a few screws). Replace. You will then need to do the window re-learn procedure (auto up/down). Its easy, just search here to find it. You will then need to set the remotes to remotely lock/unlock the doors. Again, a simple procedure and you'll find it here as well. PM me if you can't find it - I'll send it to you from my service manual.

The little square button does seem to be working, i.e. when I press it down, I no longer hear the click at any of the other three windows.

The switch getting wet is certainly a possibility. Sounds like the least painful route at this point. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
