Installation Instructions for a 1998 Honda Passport Window Switch

The 1998 Honda Passport did not come standard with electric windows, but some models included an optional feature. Models equipped with electric windows have a window switch attached to the door armrest. In time, this switch may fail, as do many electronic parts. When that happens, replace the window switch to restore your ability to raise and lower the windows.

Instructions

    1

    Turn the bolt or nut on the Passports negative battery cable counterclockwise to loosen it. Pull the cable from the battery to disconnect it.

    2

    Open the door. The drivers side door contains the master window switch, but there are also window switches on the other doors. The procedure to replace the switches is the same.

    3

    Cover the tip of a flathead screwdriver with masking tape. Insert the tip under the front edge of the window switch. Pry up to pop the front section of the window switch out of the door armrest. Move around the switchs perimeter, gently prying up to free the switch.

    4

    Pull the switch away from the door armrest. Examine the rear. Youll find an electrical plug attached to the back. Push the plugs tab to unlock it, and then unplug it from the switch. Set the old switch to the side.

    5

    Grab the new window switch. Plug the electrical plug into its rear. Set it into the door armrest mount.

    6

    Push the edges of the switch down firmly to secure it to the door panel armrest. Place the negative battery cable back onto the battery post and tighten its nut or bolt.
