DIY - Driver side Window Switch Replacement 2002 Honda CRV

This is a DIY for a 2002 Honda CRV driver side window switch .

Before you determine if you need the main switch you must have a good diagnosis .

Some times it can be the motor if it is let the motor die before you replace any window motor .

If the window goes up and with the other switch but not the drivers switch then that is one outcome . 

They call this the main switch because if this fails the other windows won't work correctly from this area . 

You need to pull up the switch from the snaps . You do not need to take the door panel off .

Unscrew the screws located on the bottom . 

Once you have it off match up the switch and then put it all back . 

Windows should be working again .

DIY - Perma Poxy Plastic Weld Tips

In this DIY I will show you how you can use this poxy to repair the drivers side window switch plate .

Once you have the door panel removed , Make sure you clean the door panel from dust , dirt and grease .

As you can see in the photo the rear part of the face plate had been broken off but the front still clips . 

Once I mixed the poxy I apllied it to the front clip even though that piece was not broken I still wanted a good full tight grip , Then apply poxy to the back part where the door panel and the broken piece connect . Make sure you dont get it on the window switch because if that ever goes out you want to make sure you can easily take it out and replace it . You can take out the switch when your doing this or in my case you dont have to . 

Once you apply the poxy let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes then you can out the door panel back to the vehicle .

Once you poxy the face plate you have to remember you can never pop this off , You have to remove the whole panel . But in the end it is worth it and saves you money . This plastic plate is hard to find out at the junk yards .
