Honda Element Rear Window Roll Down

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.

Honda element rear window roll down.

Sorry about the music on this one it was a little loud if you. I hear that some people actually put humans in the cargo area of the element so i suppose those windows might be of some use to those strange creatures. 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. Seemed very unlikely but turned out to be the cause.

In this video we show how to replace the window regulator motor in a 2003 2011 honda element. 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. Honda acura use a polarity reversing ground at rest power window system same as the door locks. Most likely the problem is the switch.

Element owners club is your go to forum community to discuss your honda element and get ideas from your next great trip to your next honda element mod. Fwiw when i was speaking with an associate at the east liberty plant last june we discussed the rear window roll down option. My dream is to have the hatchback rear door window roll down. Glad i checked that out before tearing the door apart.

When i was little we owned a 1972 ford gran torino station wagon and the back window rolled down. Each repair is just under 500 with tax at the dealership.
