If the test lamp shows full brilliance at both ends of the grid lines, inspect for an open or poor connection in the ground circuit of the rear window defogger grid. Refer to «Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h1500/2003-2012/remont/ignition-switchsteering-lock/#wiring-systems-and-power-management-troubleshooting-diagnosis__testing-for-intermittent-conditions-and-poor) and «Connector Repairs»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h1500/2003-2012/remont/ignition-switchsteering-lock/#wiring-systems-and-power-management-troubleshooting-diagnosis__connector-repairs) . If the test lamp goes out, locate the open in that grid line. Test every grid line in at least 2 places (1, 3) to eliminate the possibility of bridging an open (2) in the grid line.
5. If an open is located, replace the rear window. Refer to «Rear Window Replacement»(/chevrolet/chevy-express-h1500/2003-2012/remont/heated-glassdefoggers/#fixed-moveable-window-systems__rear-window-replacement) .

Full-Cut Method Description

Use only the full cut method, also known in the field as full strip method, when installing windows.

This method includes the following

1. The replacement of a majority of the urethane adhesive bead. Remove all but approximately 2 mm (3/64 in) of the existing bead of urethane adhesive from the pinch-weld flange.
2. Apply pinch-weld primer to any exposed painted areas on the pinch-weld flange.

No mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive should remain on the pinch-weld flange. Do not remove all traces of urethane adhesive.

Adhesive Service Kit Description

The GM of Canada Adhesive Caulking Kit, P/N 10952983, contains the following items

1. Four different primers
2. A tube of urethane adhesive with a nozzle
3. Four daubers
4. Instructions with warnings

Use the urethane adhesive caulking kit for replacement of any urethane adhesive-installed window using the full cut method.

In the United States or Canada, you may use any of the following equivalent urethane adhesive systems which meet GM Specification GM 3651G

1. Dow Automotive - Essex 400HV. One part and requires associated primers.
2. Dow Automotive - Essex U216. Two part and requires associated primers. Call Dow Automotive at 1-800-453-3779 for more information.
3. 3M™ "Fast Cure" Auto Glass Urethane. One part and requires associated primers. Call 3M™ at 1-877-666-2277 for more information.

Use these materials based on specific manufacturer. Do NOT intermix primers or adhesives from one manufacturer to another.

Always follow the system manufacturer's instructions for application, handling, and curing.

Stationary Window Description

Most stationary windows, specifically windshields, are retained to the body with urethane adhesive which adheres the window to the body, increasing structural integrity. The reinstallation of the windows with urethane adhesive requires complete replacement of the urethane adhesive bead, and is known as the full cut method.

Power Window System Components

The power window system consists of the following components

1. LF power window master switch
2. RF power window switch
3. Reversible power window motors in each of the doors (circuit breaker protected)
4. PWR WDO 30A circuit breaker

Power Window System Controls

The power window system will operate anytime the ignition switch is in the ACCY or ON position or when RAP is activated.

The LF power window master switch can control the up and down functions of both the windows in the vehicle. The passenger door power window switch can only control the up and down functions of the passenger window.

Power Window Motor Operation

A permanent magnet motor operates each of the power side windows. Each motor raises or lowers the glass when the motor receives voltage. The direction the motor turns depends on the polarity of the supply voltage. The power window switches control the polarity of the supply voltage. A built-in circuit breaker protects each motor. The circuit breaker opens when the switch is depressed for a extended period of time under the following conditions

1. The window has an obstruction.
2. The window is fully open or fully closed.

The circuit breaker will reset automatically as the circuit breaker cools.

Power Window Operation

The normally closed contacts of the switch are connected to ground and the center pole is connected to the accessory voltage circuit. By placing the left power window switch in the down position, voltage is applied to the power window motor left front down circuit and to the power window motor. The other side of the power window motor is connected to ground through the normally closed contacts of the left power window switch through the power window motor left front up circuit and drives the window down.

By placing the power window switch in the up position the polarity of the motor is reversed and the motor drives the window up.

Rear Window Defogger System Components

The rear window defogger system consists of the following components

1. HVAC control assembly
2. Rear window defogger relay
3. Rear window defogger grid

Rear Window Defogger Operation

When you turn the ignition to the ON position, battery positive voltage is supplied through the HTD MIR DEFOG fuse to the rear window defogger relay switched input. Ground is for the rear window defogger relay coil is provided by G302. Battery positive voltage and ignition voltage is supplied to the HVAC control assembly for rear window defogger operation. When the rear window defogger switch is depressed, the HVAC control assembly energizes the rear window defogger relay by supplying battery positive voltage to the rear window defogger relay coil. This allows battery positive voltage from the relay switched input through the switch contacts and out the relay switched output to the rear window defogger grids. The HVAC control assembly also illuminates the rear window defogger indicator upon this request. Ground for the left rear window defogger grid is provided by G401. Ground for the right rear window defogger grid is provided by G402.

When you turn ON the ignition and press the rear window defogger switch for the first time, the defogger cycle lasts 10 minutes. Further operation results in 5 minute defogger cycles. The defogger cycle resets to 10 minutes when you cycle the ignition to the OFF position and then back to the ON position.
