Scheme 1: Glass, Frames and Mechanisms

Power Window Control

The driver power window one-touch down operation is controlled by the window/lock switch with integrated electronics. The one-touch down operation is requested by momentarily pressing the driver window down switch for 32 ms to 480 ms. The initial voltage input from the down switch starts the one-touch down operation. If the voltage input was less than 480 ms, the window/lock switch will maintain the voltage supply to the window regulator motor down circuit. Central junction box (CJB) maxi-fuse 28 (20A) supplies the power to the switch for this operation. The switch will maintain the operation until

  1. seven seconds expire.
  2. the switch detects the motor stalled by monitoring the current draw.
  3. a voltage input is received by the switch on either the up or down switch circuits.

From the switch, there is only one ground that is used for normal window operation and for one-touch down operation, making diagnostics simpler. If this ground is open, all window operation (one-touch and normal) will be inoperative. The switch monitors voltage on the down circuit for the driver window. If the switch continues to detect voltage on the down circuit for more than 480 ms after initial activation, the switch will not affect operation. The down circuit through the switch is a direct connection to the motor in its normal state. This allows the driver window switch to control the motor for normal operation.

The passenger window motors are hardwired directly to the window regulator control switches.

The window regulator motor has built-in circuit protection to prevent overheating due to excessive or repeated current draw.

If the window motor is cycled against significant resistance, the circuit protection function may be activated. This will prevent operation of the window motor for several minutes.

Intermittent operation due to activation of the circuit protection is NOT a sign of window motor failure. It is indicative of significant resistance to the movement of the glass or excessive duty cycle (repeated glass cycling). Significant resistance to window function may also be caused by extreme cold temperatures or build-up of frost or ice on the glass.

Glass cycle time from full down to full up should be less than 3.5 seconds at an ambient temperature of 72°F (22°C). Verification of glass cycle time MUST be conducted at or above this temperature.

Heated Rear Window

The heated rear window is controlled by the lighting control module (LCM). The ignition switch must be in RUN for the heated rear window to operate. Pressing the heated rear window switch grounds the input to the LCM. The LCM detects the line at ground and checks the ignition switch position. If the module detects the ignition switch in RUN, ground is supplied to the heated rear window relay output. The heated rear window relay coil is energized which closes the contacts and supplies power to the hidden antenna module, the ON indicator in the heated rear window switch and if equipped, the exterior mirrors.

The hidden antenna module then supplies power and ground to the heated rear window grid.

Scheme 2: Inspection and Verification
  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage; refer to the following chart
  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle: check for the diagnostic card being correctly installed. check the connections to the vehicle. check the ignition switch position.
  5. If the diagnostic tool does not power up, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.
  6. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with: SCP or ISO circuit fault; all electronic control units, no response/not equipped, refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(/ford/crown-victoria/ii-1997-2011/remont/communication-devices/#module-communications-network-system) . No response/not equipped for the lighting control module (LCM), refer to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES»(/ford/crown-victoria/ii-1997-2011/remont/communication-devices/#multifunction-electronic-modules-system) . System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the LCM.
  7. If the LCM DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to «LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE (LCM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX»(/ford/crown-victoria/ii-1997-2011/remont/windows/#window-and-glass) .
  8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, refer to the «SYMPTOM CHART»(/ford/crown-victoria/ii-1997-2011/remont/windows/#window-and-glass) to continue diagnostics.

Grid Wire Test

  1. Using a bright lamp in the vehicle, inspect the wire grid from the exterior. A broken grid wire will appear as a brown spot.
  2. Run the engine at idle. Set the heated rear window switch to ON. The indicator light should come on.
  3. Working in the vehicle with a voltmeter, contact the broad red-brown stripes of the rear glass window positive lead to battery side and the negative lead to ground side. The meter should read 10-13 volts. A lower voltage reading indicates a loose ground connection.
  4. Contact a good ground point with the negative lead of the meter. The voltage reading should not change.
  5. With the negative lead of the meter grounded, touch each grid line of the heated rear window glass at its midpoint with the positive lead. A reading of approximately six volts indicates the line is good. A reading of zero volts indicates the line is broken between the midpoint and the B+ side of the grid line. A reading of 12 volts indicates the circuit is broken between the midpoint of the grid line and ground.
  6. Pinpointing the exact position of the break can be accomplished (if the voltmeter reads 0 volts when the midpoint of the grid line is touched with the positive lead of the voltmeter) by moving the positive lead of the voltmeter toward the B+ side of the grid line and touching the grid line until the voltmeter reads 6 volts. If the voltmeter reads 12 volts when the midpoint of the grid line is touched with the positive lead of the voltmeter, simply move the positive lead of the voltmeter toward the ground connection of the grid line and touch the grid line until the voltmeter reads 6 volts.

Installation

CAUTIONAfter installing the urethane installed back window glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. The curing time for Essex 400-HV at temperatures above 13 °C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours (refer to Essex drive away chart for cure times as temperature and humidity vary). Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect the strength of the urethane adhesive bond.
CAUTIONMake sure urethanes and primers have not gone beyond the shelf life printed on the containers. Lids should be re-installed after use to maximize actual shelf life, which may be less than what is indicated once lids or seals are removed.

  3. Using a wool applicator, apply the urethane metal primer to any exposed metal on the pinch weld and allow 6 to 10 minutes to dry.
  4. If reinstalling the original back window glass, remove any excess urethane adhesive from the glass.
  5. If installing a new back window glass, clean the inside of the glass surface with an alcohol-free cleaner to make sure the ceramic-coated area is clean.

CAUTIONAfter installing the urethane installed windshield glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. The curing time for Essex 400-HV at temperatures above 13 °C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours (refer to Essex drive away chart for times as temperatures and humidity vary). Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect the strength of the urethane adhesive bond.
CAUTIONMake sure urethanes and primers have not gone beyond the shelf life printed on the containers. Lids should be re-installed after use to maximize actual shelf life, which may be less than what is indicated once lids or seals are removed.
