Power Windows: Other Dodge Cab & Chassis R3500

ALL WINDOWS INOPERATIVE

1. Check circuit breaker for power window system. See «TROUBLE SHOOTING»(ref-62826-S26364132442001011800000) . Replace circuit breaker as necessary and retest. If circuit breaker is okay, go to next step.
2. Remove driver's side power window switch. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-62826-S11226526932001011800000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for continuity between ground and terminal No. 3 (Black/Light Green wire) at driver's side power window switch wiring harness connector. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-62826-S39185612292001011800000) . If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black/Light Green wire between driver's side power window switch connector and ground.
3. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 5 (Tan wire) at driver's side power window switch wiring harness connector. If battery voltage is present, check driver's side power window switch. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-62826-S11226526932001011800000) under COMPONENT TESTS. If battery voltage is not present, repair open Tan wire between driver's side power window switch connector and ignition. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-62826-S39185612292001011800000) .

ONE WINDOW INOPERATIVE

Note. Window glass must be free to slide up and down for power window motor to function properly. If glass is not free to move up and down, motor will overload and trip circuit breaker.

1. Place window glass halfway between up and down positions. Verify glass can be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and up and down. If glass does not move freely, check window glass, tracks and regulator for sticking, binding or improper adjustment. Repair as necessary and recheck system operation. If glass moves freely, go to next step.
2. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove power window switch from door with inoperative window. Disconnect power window switch connector. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage at Tan wire at power window switch harness connector terminal No. 5 (driver's side window) or terminal No. 11 (passenger's side window). If battery voltage does not exist, repair open Tan wire between junction block and power window switch. If battery voltage exists, go to next step (inoperative passenger's side window) or go to step 4 (inoperative driver's side window).
3. Disconnect negative battery cable. Check for continuity between ground and passenger's side window switch harness connector terminals No. 1 (Brown/White wire) and No. 2 (Violet/White wire). If continuity exists on both circuits, go to next step. If continuity does not exist on one or both circuits, repair open circuit in wiring harness between window switches.
4. Check power window switch. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-62826-S09121517802001011800000) under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace faulty power window switch as necessary. If switch is okay, go to next step.
5. Check for continuity between window switch wiring harness connector terminals and corresponding window motor wiring harness connector terminals of inoperative power window. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-62826-S39185612292001011800000) . If continuity exists in all circuits, power window switch and switch circuits are okay. Check power window motor. See «POWER WINDOW MOTOR»(ref-62826-S37448809022001011800000) under COMPONENT TESTS. If continuity does not exist in one or more circuits, repair open circuit(s) as necessary. Recheck system operation.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

1. Locate circuit breaker for power window system. See «TROUBLE SHOOTING»(ref-62826-S26364132442001011800000) . Pull circuit breaker out slightly, but ensure circuit breaker terminals still contact terminals in fuse block.
2. Connect voltmeter negative lead to ground. Using voltmeter positive lead, check both terminals of circuit breaker for battery voltage. If voltmeter indicates battery voltage at both terminals, circuit breaker is okay.
3. If voltmeter indicates battery voltage at one terminal only, replace faulty circuit breaker. If voltmeter indicates no voltage at either terminal, check for an open or shorted circuit to circuit breaker. Repair as necessary and recheck system operation.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR

1. Remove door trim panel. See «DOOR TRIM PANEL»(ref-62826-S36088674472001011800000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect window motor connector. Using jumper wires, apply battery voltage to window motor terminals. Motor should operate, unless window is already at maximum travel.
2. Reverse jumper wires. Window should move in opposite direction. If window does not move in either direction, replace window motor.
3. If motor operates in one direction only, replace motor. See «POWER WINDOW MOTOR»(ref-62826-S37448809022001011800000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If motor grunts and does not move, disconnect window glass from regulator plate. Check window glass, tracks and regulator for sticking, binding or improper adjustment. Repair as necessary and recheck system operation.

POWER WINDOW SWITCH

1. Remove power window switch from door trim panel. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-62826-S09121517802001011800000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. See «DRIVER'S WINDOW SWITCH CONTINUITY»(ref-62826-S41849155012001011800000) or «PASSENGER'S WINDOW SWITCH CONTINUITY»(ref-62826-S15124542762001011800000) table. (Scheme 3) Replace power window switch as necessary.
2. On vehicles equipped with auto-down feature, power window switch has electronic components in switch to actuate auto-down. To test, check switch continuity, reconnect switch, turn ignition on and test auto-down feature. If auto-down feature does not work, replace switch.
