Power Windows Saturn SL I

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

POWER WINDOW SYSTEM

The power window system is designed to open and close all of the side windows from a power window master switch assembly located in the console.

On the Sedan and Wagon models, the rear door windows may be controlled from switches located in each rear door. The left rear door switch will operate only the left rear window, and the right rear door switch will only operate the right rear window. The rear window door switches can also be disabled from the power window master switch assembly. The power window master switch assembly contains 5 switches: One switch each for control of the 4 windows and one rear window lockout switch to enable or disable, rear window operation from the rear window switches.

On the Coupe, the power window master switch assembly contains 2 switches: One switch for control of each of the 2 front windows.

On all models, the power window system is operational only when the ignition is in the run position.

Passenger's Window

The passenger's power window switch is located in the power window master switch assembly. When the power window switch, for the passenger's window is put in the RAISE position, the passenger's window motor operates to raise the window until either the switch is released or the circuit breaker located within the motor assembly disables the motor. When the power window switch, for the passenger's window is put in the LOWER position, the passenger's window operates to lower the window until either the switch is released or the circuit breaker located within the motor assembly disables the motor.

Driver's Window

The driver's power window switch is located in the power window master switch assembly. When the power window switch, for the driver's window is put in the RAISE position, the driver's window motor operates to raise the window until either the power window switch is released or the circuit breaker located within the motor assembly disables the motor.

The driver's window has a two-position LOWER power window switch, with the second position latching to provide an EXPRESS DOWN feature. When the driver's power window switch is placed in the first LOWER position (before passing the detent) the window operates in the same manner as the front passenger's window. When the driver's power window switch is placed in the second LOWER position (past the detent), it latches in that position and the corresponding motor operates to lower the window regardless of weather the operator continues to apply force to the power window switch. The motor deactivates when either the power window switch is momentarily moved toward the RAISE position (unlatching the switch), or by the express down function. The express down latch position releases within five seconds by a built in timer.

Rear Windows (Sedan & Wagon)

The rear door power window motor are activated by power window switches in the power window master control switch assembly and also by individual power window switches on the rear doors.

The power window master switch assembly has a rear window lockout switch which disables the rear power window switches from operating. The rear door power window switches, located in the power window master switch assembly, operate the same regardless of the position of the rear window lockout switch.

When a power widow switch, in the power window master switch assembly, is put in the RAISE position, the corresponding power window motor operates to raise the window until either the switch is released or the circuit breaker located within the motor assembly disables the motor. With a power window switch in the LOWER position, the corresponding power window motor operates to lower the window until either the switch is released or the circuit breaker located within the motor assembly disables the motor.

When the rear window lockout switch is in the enable position and both a rear door power window switch and the master switch for the same power window are placed in the LOWER position at the same time, the result will be the same as when only one switch is in the LOWER position.

When the rear window lockout switch is in the enable position and both a rear door power window switch and the master switch for the same power window are placed in the RAISE position at the same time, the result will be the same as when only one switch is in the RAISE position.

When the rear window lockout switch is in the enable position and both a rear door power window switch and the master switch for the same window are placed in opposite directions, the corresponding power window motor will not be activated.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Verify customer complaint by operating suspected system. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Inspect for blown fuses and damaged relays. Inspect for loose or corroded connections, damaged wiring harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary.
