VENT WINDOW MOTOR

  1. Remove "D" pillar trim panel. See «"D" PILLAR TRIM PANEL»(ref-123839-S18193253102001092700000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect vent window motor connector. Using jumper wires, apply battery voltage to vent window motor terminals. Motor should rotate in one direction, moving window open or closed. If window is in full closed or open position, no movement will be observed and motor will make a grunting noise.
  2. Reverse battery leads. Window should move in opposite direction. If window does not move or window does not make a grunting noise, replace vent window motor. If window moved completely open and closed, motor should be reversed one more time to complete a full window movement inspection.
  3. If motor grunts and window does not move, remove motor assembly. Check window motor crank for binding. Repair as necessary. Recheck window operation. If window moves, check power window switch continuity. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-123839-S06426604052001092700000) . Replace switch as necessary. If window switch is okay, check for open circuit between window motor and window switch. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-123839-S22329913882001092700000) . Repair as necessary.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR

  1. Remove door trim panel. See «DOOR TRIM PANEL»(ref-123839-S33307464502001092700000) 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, remove motor. See «POWER WINDOW MOTOR»(ref-123839-S32858436362001092700000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. 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

Remove window switch from door trim panel. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. See appropriate WINDOW SWITCH CONTINUITY table. Replace power window switch as necessary. (Scheme 4)or (Scheme 5).
