Sliding Rear Window Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sliding rear window switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the control terminals C and B and the voltage terminal A with the switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than the specified value, replace the sliding rear window switch.
  3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal C and the voltage terminal A with the switch in the CLOSE position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the sliding rear window switch.
  4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal B and the voltage terminal A with the switch in the OPEN position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the sliding rear window switch.

Relay Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate relay.
  2. Test for 60-200 ohms between terminals 85 and 86.
    • If not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
    • 30 and 86
    • 30 and 87
    • 30 and 85
    • 85 and 87
    • If not the specified value, replace the relay.
  4. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87A.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
  5. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between terminals 30 and 87.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.

Sliding Rear Window Motor

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sliding rear window motor.
  2. Install a 25A fused jumper wire between the control terminal A and 12 volts. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the control terminal B and ground. The sliding rear window motor should perform the OPEN or CLOSE function.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the sliding rear window motor.
  3. Reverse the jumper wires; the sliding rear window motor should perform the CLOSE or OPEN function.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the sliding rear window motor.
