TROUBLE SHOOTING

Note. Some components incorporate a short wiring harness between component and harness connector. Wire color may be different from that used in main harness. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Inspect P/W fuse (30-amp). Ensure ground (located behind left side of instrument panel, above junction block) is clean and tight. Ensure power window lock switch is in UNLOCK (released) position. Before component replacement, check for poor connections at related component and in-line harness connector terminals. If concern is still exists, diagnose by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table under SYSTEM TESTS.

TEST A: ALL POWER WINDOWS INOPERATIVE

Note. To identify harness connectors and terminals, see WIRING DIAGRAMS .

  1. Review description and operation of power window system, then go to next step. See «DESCRIPTION & OPERATION»(ref-121801-S09468190622001090600000).
  2. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Check operation of all power windows with master power window switch and individual power window switches. If all power windows are inoperative from all power window switches, go to next step. If only one power window is inoperative, diagnose by symptom. See «SYMPTOM INDEX»(ref-121801-S04590128412001090800000) table. If power windows operate properly, diagnose intermittent concern. See appropriate BODY CONTROL MODULES article.
