1997 Honda Civic window won't roll up?

I just bought this Honda Civic and the owner told me about the problem but I'm just wondering how to fix it.

This is the problem: When the doors are closed the driver and passenger window won't roll down from the driver switch. But I'm able to roll down the back 2 windows with the driver switch.

BUT, when I open the door all the way, I'm now able to roll the driver and passenger window up or down.

Does anybody know what causes that?
I can roll the rear windows down fine, but not the driver and passenger window unless I open the door all the way.

EDIT: WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED I can't roll down the driver and passenger window. Accidentally said when the doors as in all doors.

That is strange. I'm guessing that the wiring harness is being pulled when the door is closed and closer when the door is open. So I just suggest you check if the harness looks like it worn from being stretched out. Hopefully it's an easy fix like that.

  • Will a 1996 honda civic window fit in a 1999 honda civic coupe? Yeah just looking for a window and seeing if it will fit. Any combo information will work like will a coupe go into a 4 door or 4 door go into a coupe. My car is 1999 honda civic coupe ex.

  • Passenger side window won't go up after radio stolen? Recently my car was stolen about a week later we found the car and the only thing really missing was the radio which had been stolen. The window of the passenger side was also all the way down. Now, it won't go back up. Any ideas what could happened or how to fix it? I'm thinking it had something to do with the stolen radio and maybe a cable or something getting disconnected? The car is a 1996 Honda Civic with power windows. Checked the fuses and they are good.
