DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The electric tailgate window is operated by a reversible motor and regulator assembly mounted inside the tailgate. An instrument panel control switch and a key-operated lock switch operate the power window. A limit switch prevents operation when the tailgate is open.
WINDOW MOTOR
If window does not operate, check fuses. If fuses are okay, check for correct limit switch adjustment. Ensure that ground connection at dashboard switch is properly grounded. If window operates from one switch but not the other, check continuity of both switches in both "UP" and "DOWN" positions.
