Honda Element Power Window Fix #electricalrepairs

It took a minute to get to the root of this problem. Mainly because of me, but I’d argue that I eventually found the issue and fixed it. I’ll do better next time. For now, here is some useful information on how to find and fix a wiring problem in your Honda Element.

    Many years ago I made this exact same fix in the exact same spot on both front doors of a '63 Cadillac Fleetwood of my friends dads, neither the power seat controls or windows were working in either front door – in my case every single wire in both harnesses was broken. It felt like the wires had work-hardened inside the rubber boot until they all broke. I was pretty young back then maybe 16 or so and didnt have much to work with in wire length or tools so I had an idea – instead of just stripping and crimping the old wires back together leaving the work hardened wires inside the flex boots to break again, I lengthened (all) the wires almost a foot with new wire, crimp connected them back on with shrink tubing on each crimped connection and shoved the old hardened ends of the wires back into the kick panel and into the door, leaving just the new wires in the boots where all the flexing would take place. Took quite awhile as I also had had to remove the door panel and the inside kick panel, but when I got done the windows and seat controls worked in both doors as did the lights at the bottom of the door interior I dont remember if the mirrors and door locks back then were electric but I dont think so, the outside mirror was just a manual lever and the door locks as I recall were vacuum. Anyway everything worked and I was pretty proud of my 16 year old self for makiing my first major wire repair and succeeding LOL Essentially the same thing Eric did here and for the same reasons

    I keep John Deere combine separator wiring harness pieces for this job. The techs call it spaghetti wire because it's soft like cooked spaghetti. It's crazy flexible and designed to move back and forth two inches for over a thousand hours. That's about 50,000,000 door cycle equivalents. Just cut out the flex section and reuse the rest of the wire harness. The stuff is far too expensive for any car manufacturer to use. It's not even copper, it's some super alloy that doesn't corrode.

    hmm, I have a similar issue where my driver door speaker keeps going intermittently out. Kept happening after replacing the speaker as well.
    I suspect its a bad connection somewhere between it and the head unit, probably in that joint area.

    Any troubleshooting tips for the auto up/down function not working anymore? After a wild failure with the driver's side window regulator I no longer have auto up/down even though I've programmed it so many times now. New window switch? Best source for a replacement?
