GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Power windows are available as factory-installed
optional equipment on this model. The Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system and power lock system are
included on vehicles equipped with the power win-
dow option. Refer to 8W-60 - Power Windows in
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams.
POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
The power window system allows each of the door
windows to be raised and lowered electrically by
actuating a switch on the trim panel of each respec-
tive door. A master switch on the driver side front
door trim panel allows the driver to raise or lower
each of the passenger door windows, and to lock out
the individual switches on the passenger doors from
operation. The power window system receives battery
feed through a circuit breaker in the junction block,
only when the ignition switch is in the On position.
The power window system includes the power win-
dow switches on each door trim panel, the circuit
breaker in the junction block, and the power window
motors inside each door. This group covers diagnosis
and service of only the electrical components in the
power window system. For service of mechanical
components, such as the regulator, lift plate, window
tracks, or glass refer to Group 23 - Body.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power window system. Refer to
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
power window system.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
The power windows are controlled by four two-way
switches and a power window lockout switch that are
integral to the power window and lock switch unit on
the driver side front door trim panel. Additionally,
each of the passenger doors has a single gang two-
way power window switch mounted in a bezel on
their respective door trim panels. A Light-Emitting
Diode (LED) in the paddle of each switch is illumi-
nated whenever the ignition switch is in the On posi-
tion. However, the LEDs for the passenger power
window switches are extinguished whenever the
driver selects the Lock position with the power win-
dow lockout switch.
The power window switch for the driver side front
door has an Auto label on it. This switch has a sec-
ond detent position beyond the normal Down position
that provides an automatic one-touch window down
feature. This feature is controlled by an electronic
circuit and a relay that are integral to the driver side
front door power window and lock switch unit.
The power window switches control the battery
and ground feeds to the power window motors. All of
the passenger door power window switches receive
their battery and ground feeds through the circuitry
of the driver side master switch unit. When the
power window lockout switch is in the Lock position,
the battery feed for the individual passenger door
power window switches is interrupted.
The driver side power window and lock switch unit
and the single gang passenger door power window
switches cannot be repaired and, if faulty or dam-
aged, the entire switch unit or switch must be
replaced.
