I had a Mazda with the same problem. Instead of replacing the electric motor, I cleaned it buy spraying electric contact cleaner into one of the small holes in the motor housing. After "swishing" it around good I drained it and filled it with electric motor oil and drained it again. I reconnected the electrical connection and the motor worked fine. Make sure you try it under load (installed and operating the window). It was still working fine when I sold the car a few years later. You can get electric motor oil in a small container for a few bucks at a good hardware store. Get a Haynes manual for the car and be sure to read the section on the airbags before doing anything eletrical, epecially around the dash and doors. It's not as difficult as it appears. I don't know what a Honda dealer charges for labor by you, but two years ago it was $85/hr in my area.

For my 2002 Accord V6, the driver's side front window no longer responds to the switches. I would appreciate if anyone has ideas as to what I could check / do to address this problem.
 
thanks in advance,

You'll have to take the door panel off, and meter the switch output to the motor. Problem could be a bad switch, or a bad motor.

you checked fuses. how about relays? one thing you can do is swap relays for the Driver's Side door with the Passenger's (providing the part number is the same). If the window works after that, well... you've found what needs replacing.

did you ever figure out the problem?? because i have a 1998 accord as well with 196,000 miles, and it just started doing the same thing a couple weeks ago. its like it will be fine for a few days and then have a bad day, but its weird because it starts right back up.

It depends on which shop you go to for the maintenance. My advise would be to shop around. The dealership will usually be higher than another local shop, but you have to consider they know more about Accords than other shops do. You could probably find a shop that will only do a few "absolutely necessary" items, and only charge you a couple hundred $$$. Another shop may want to perform "the works", and charge you $700 or more.

Alarm Randomly Getting Triggered? by holycrappitsjo
Apr 02, 2008 (4:08 am)

I bought a 2002 Honda Accord SE about 9 months ago,
 
The alarm keeps going off randomly. Horn goes off, lights flash, yeah.
I know there have been some posts about this before, but I didn't see any resolutions to it.
I can't just leave it unlocked 'cause I have street parking in the city. And for that same reason, of course I can't let it keep going.
There's not some giant moose or something jumping on my car to set it off, 'cause it went off while I was walking away from it in my work parking lot yesterday, haha.
 
How do I go about adjusting the sensitivity, if that's where the problem is? What else should I check it for?

The first thing I'd do is check your battery, making sure it still has a proper amount of juice.
