Why is my Honda Civic power window not working?

The driver’s side power windows in my Honda Civic stopped working the other day. After messing with it for a while, I thought I had it fixed—but today, I can’t get it to go down again. Why is my Honda Civic power window not working?

If your Honda Civic power window is not working, it’s most likely an electrical problem relating to the power switch. Defective power switches prevail across Honda Civics but are especially common in older models.
Alternatively, it could be related to your window motor, which is the specific component responsible for raising and lowering your power windows. Although less common, window motor failures can cause your power windows to become stuck or stop working.
Worst-case scenario, a stuck window could be an early sign of battery failure—since it’s your battery, after all, that powers your electric windows. Make sure to confirm (either by checking yourself or with a mechanic) the source of the issue before purchasing any replacement parts!
