    Driver's Switch 

    The driver's switch is combined with the control unit so you cannot isolate the switch to test it.

    Instead, run the power window master switch input test procedures (see POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH INPUT TEST  ). If the tests are normal, the driver's switch must be faulty; replace the power window master switch.

  4. If the continuity is not as specified, replace the switch (see POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH REPLACEMENT  ).
