Scheme 1

Scheme 2

1. Remove the desired switch to be tested from the door trim panel. Driver's side (master) or passenger side. «(Refer to ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/POWER WINDOW SWITCH - REMOVAL)»(ref-248931-S37005628592007022700000).
2. Using an ohmmeter, Test driver door switch for continuity as described in «POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH TEST»(ref-248931-S40718266062007022700000) table. (Scheme 1) POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH TEST SWITCH POSITION CONTINUITY BETWEEN OFF 13 and 1 - 13 and 2 - 13 and 3 - 13 and 4 - 13 and 5 - 13 and 6 - 13 and 7 13 and 8 UP DRIVER 11 and 8 *DOWN DRIVER 11 and 6 *X DOWN DRIVER 11 and 6 UP PASSENGER 9 and 4 DOWN PASSENGER 9 and 2 LEFT VENT OPEN 11 and 7 LEFT VENT CLOSE 9 and 3 RIGHT VENT OPEN 9 and 1 RIGHT VENT CLOSE 11 and 5 * MUST TEST WITH B+ ON PIN 9 AND GROUND ON PIN 13 FOR CONTINUITY BETWEEN PINS 11 AND 6
3. If the result are not OK, replace the driver side window lift switch.
4. Test passenger door switch for continuity as described in «PASSENGER WINDOW SWITCH TEST»(ref-248931-S39827879532007022700000) table. (Scheme 2) PASSENGER WINDOW SWITCH TEST SWITCH POSITION CONTINUITY BETWEEN OFF 3 AND 8 OFF 2 AND 5 UP 1 AND 8 DOWN 1 AND 5
5. If the results are not OK, replace the switch.

The power window master switch has a Auto-Down feature. The switch is equipped with two detent positions when actuating the power window OPEN. The first detent position allows the window to roll down and stop when the switch is released. The second detent position actuates an integral express roll down relay that rolls the window down after the switch is released. When the express down circuit senses stall current (window has reached end of down travel), the switch will turn current off to the motor. The AUTO feature can be cancelled by actuating the switch UP or DOWN while window is in motion. If the electronic circuit in the switch fails to detect a stall current, the auto down circuit will time out within 9 to 13 seconds.

Scheme 3

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Using a trim stick, start at the bottom of the switch and bezel assembly and pry up to remove the switch and bezel assembly from the door trim panel. (Scheme 3) 1 - DOOR TRIM PANEL 2 - POWER WINDOW SWITCH AND BEZEL ASSEMBLY

4. Disconnect wire harness connectors from switch.

1. Reconnect wire harness connector to switch.
2. Insert switch into door trim panel and press into place.
3. Reconnect battery negative cable.
