| Description of the problem | While driving my honda on the freeway two days after a heavy rain, i smelled a nauseating burning odor. I pressed the power window switch to lower windows. The passenger side front window stopped working. This had occurred some time ago with the driver side rear window. I checked honda recalls and there is one that matches exactly my circumstances, 12-067, but my vin is not eligible. The recall states that water can damage the power window switch, create a short circuit and melt connectors, possibly causing a fire. Tipton honda, el cajon ca, technician found master switch internal circuit damage and unplugged it . He would have replaced it but tipton did not have the necessary parts. Not sure if the burning connectors constitute "a fire" or not. |
