Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
The body control module (BCM) interfaces with the vehicle power distribution system through the WND RAP relay. The WND RAP relay allows the BCM to control the application of power to the feed circuits of the power windows. When the ignition switch is in either the ACC or the ON position, the BCM energizes the WND RAP relay by providing B+ to the WND RAP relay control circuit.
The BCM turns OFF the WND RAP relay when the ignition switch is in the START position.
When the ignition switch turns from ON or ACC to OFF, with all of the vehicle doors closed, the BCM leaves the WND RAP relay energized for 10 minutes, or until any vehicle door opens.
