Description & Operation
The power window control system consists of a switch for all power windows, located in driver's armrest and individual operating switches at each window. Each power window is controlled separately by control module which is integrated into each power window motor. See Fig 1 . Mechanical components include a regulator, carrier assembly and window hardware.
The power windows can be operated at all times when ignition is on. Power windows can be operated when ignition is off, until either front door is opened. All windows can be controlled by individual control switches located in the driver's armrest. If applicable, rear windows can be deactivated by a safety switch located at driver's door panel.
All windows feature an "express" feature. When any window switch is pressed momentarily in the up or down position, window will move to full open or full closed position without having to hold switch down.
All windows can be opened or closed outside vehicle, using ignition key in door lock. Holding key in unlock position will open all windows to desired position. Holding key in lock position will close all windows to desired position.
