2003 Honda Accord. Consumer writes to report a potential fire hazard with power windows the consumer stated the front drivers window regulator motor assembly was replaced, because it was slow to open and then became stuck in the down position. Four months later, the front passenger window would not open when the consumer tried pressing the switch from both the master control panel and the passenger arm rest. In addition, none of the windows opened from the outside of the vehicle when she pressed the unlock button on the remote transmitter and held the button down. The doors unlocked, but the windows did not go down. The front passenger regulator motor failed and in addition to a fuse blowing, the wiring in the passenger door panel burned and the vehicle's fuse box assembly was damaged. When the consumer picked the vehicle up, she was told the problem may have originated with a crack in the master control switch on the driver's panel. Two days later, after the repairs were made, when the consumer tried pressing the switch to close the window, the window rose less than an inch and immediately went down again. Also, when she wanted to open the window fully, she had to hold the control switch in the down position longer than normally required to automate the action. The consumer returned to the dealer and they replaced the run channels on both windows.
