Hi all. It's been a long time since I was on.

I have a problem with the soft top not coming down and the passenger's window wont come down either.

I have searched all the forums and they all talk about the soft top module.

Any ideas with this problem?? Are the Soft Top Modules easily available?

If you've exhausted all other options I'd pick up a softtop module from a wrecker, or an individual wrecking a car.

That said, have you checked fuses? Does the other window work? Have you checked the handbrake interrupt switch?

There are instructions in the service manual (easy to find and download) on how to check for a fault using just a multi-meter and the drivers door window controls. I had the same problem and Honda NZ wanted $900 for a control module and $265 to fit it. I found a module on ebay in the US which cost me NZ$40 including shipping. Got it in 5 days and I had my daughter time me in fitting it. It took 3 minutes from start to finish. The module is the size of a cigarette pack and pops into a fitting under the passenger side dash. There is one holding screw.

I suggest you look for a replacement module. I found a more expensive one on ebay at

Good luck, the fitting instructions can be found on this forum site.

Here is another cheaper one. I used the NZ Post service from the US, you get the person on ebay to ship to an address in the USA with a special code and NZ Post collect it and ship it to you in NZ.

One last point, if the driver window works and the passenger window doesn't 9 times out of 10 it is just the rocker switch on the passenger door that stops kids playing with the window!

I am having the same problem with my soft top and passenger window not working, and
I got a new module from ebay but i am having a problem removing the 2 cable groups from the old module under the passenger front panel. I saw the two latches but am not able to detach the cables. Please advice, thank you in advance.

Sorry folks, I was able to disconnect the cables from the old module (must push real hard on the 20 year old latches!). and the new module works like a charm.
Thank you
