Honda Element Rear Window Roll Down

My dream is to have the hatchback rear door window roll down.

Honda element rear window roll down.

The 2018 honda cr v has 5 problems reported for windows roll down on their own. Glad i checked that out before tearing the door apart. When not rolling the windows at rest both the leads going to the window motor are grounds when the switch is pressed for up or down the ground is lifted off one of the leads and 12v is supplied window rolls in one direction when switch is rocked in. Average failure mileage is 7 400 miles.

Each repair is just under 500 with tax at the dealership. Honda accord 1998 has all four windows with power window regulator failure. When i was little we owned a 1972 ford gran torino station wagon and the back window rolled down. Fwiw when i was speaking with an associate at the east liberty plant last june we discussed the rear window roll down option.

This same honda element has a cracked windshield that spontaneously cracked while driving down a toll road with no other cars within 20 car lengths and no visible rocks or other objects in the roadway. Seemed very unlikely but turned out to be the cause.

Honda acura use a polarity reversing ground at rest power window system same as the door locks.

I was testing what could have caused this over the weekend and found that the folded up stroller wheel is right at the same height as the window button and if it leans over it hits the button just right and causes the window to roll down. Most likely the problem is the switch.
