POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The Power Window System is activated through
switches mounted on the driver and passenger door
panels.
OPERATION
Front door window lift motors use permanent type
magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor
terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one
direction. Reversing current through the motor ter-
minals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite
direction.
The power window motors ground through the
master switch in the driver door by a black wire
attached to the left cowl panel. Refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
The power rear vent windows, if equipped, are
operated by switches mounted in the driver door
switch bezel. A separate switch is used for each win-
dow. Permanent magnet type motors connected to a
crank system are used to open and close the rear
vent windows. A battery positive and negative con-
nection to either of the two motor terminals will
cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing
current through these same two connections will
cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER
WINDOWS
POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST
If the power window motor is receiving proper cur-
rent and ground and does not operate, proceed with
motor test. Refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove front door trim panel and sound pad as
necessary to gain access to power window motor wire
connector, (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/
TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect power window motor wire connector
from door harness.
(3) Using two jumper wires, connect one to a bat-
tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
