  1. Check circuit breaker for power window system. See «TROUBLE SHOOTING»(ref-2637-S30197487102000041000000) . Replace circuit breaker as necessary. If circuit breaker is okay, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove driver's front power window switch. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-2637-S36304364632000041000000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for continuity between ground and terminal No. 3 (Black wire) at driver power window switch wiring harness connector. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire between driver power window switch connector and ground. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-2637-S06627420002000041000000) .
  3. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 5 (Tan wire) at driver's power window switch wiring harness connector. If battery voltage is present, check driver power window switch. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-2637-S36304364632000041000000) under COMPONENT TESTS. If battery voltage is not present, repair open Tan wire between driver power window switch connector and ignition switch. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-2637-S06627420002000041000000) . See POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.

If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire between driver's power window switch connector and ground. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-2637-S06627420002000041000000) .
  4. Reconnect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 4 (Tan wire) at driver's power window switch wiring harness connector. If battery voltage is present, check driver's power window switch. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-2637-S42238225932000041000000) under COMPONENT TESTS. If battery voltage is not present, repair open Tan wire between driver power window switch connector and ignition switch. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-2637-S06627420002000041000000) . See POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.

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 the circuit breaker.

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 driver's door is inoperative, check motor. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR . If Auto-Down is inoperative, but all other functions are okay, replace driver door switch. If a switch LED is inoperative, but all other functions are okay, replace switch.

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove power window switch from door with inoperative window. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-2637-S36304364632000041000000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. Check for battery voltage at power window switch harness connector. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open circuit to master window switch. If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
  2. Check power window switch continuity. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-2637-S42238225932000041000000) under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace faulty switch as necessary. If switch is okay, go to next step.
  3. Check for continuity in each circuit between switch for inoperative window and motor. See «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-2637-S06627420002000041000000) . If continuity does not exist in any circuit, repair open circuit as necessary. If continuity exists in all circuits, test power window motor. See «POWER WINDOW MOTOR»(ref-2637-S00582848842000041000000) under COMPONENT TESTS.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

  1. Locate circuit breaker for power window system. See «TROUBLE SHOOTING»(ref-2637-S30197487102000041000000) . Pull circuit breaker out slightly, but ensure circuit breaker terminals still contact terminals in junction 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

Note. Window motor and regulator are serviced as an assembly.

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove door trim panel. See «DOOR TRIM PANEL»(ref-2637-S16797668462000041000000) 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-2637-S00582848842000041000000) 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 window switch from door trim panel. See «POWER WINDOW SWITCH»(ref-2637-S42238225932000041000000) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. See appropriate WINDOW SWITCH CONTINUITY table. (Scheme 5)or (Scheme 6). Replace power window switch as necessary.
  2. Vehicles equipped with Auto Down feature have electronic components in switch to actuate Auto Down. To test, check switch continuity, reconnect switch, turn ignition on and test feature. If Auto Down does not work, replace switch.
