Driver Window Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminals D and C and the B+ circuit terminal E with the LR switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the driver window switch.
  3. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal D and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the UP position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  4. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal C and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the DOWN position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminals G and H and the B+ circuit terminal E with the RR switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the driver window switch.
  6. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal G and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the UP position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  7. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal H and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the DOWN position.
  8. If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminals B and C and the B+ circuit terminal E with the passenger switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the driver window switch.
  10. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal B and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the UP position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  11. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal C and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the DOWN position.
  12. If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  13. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminals E and A and the B+ circuit terminal E with the driver switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the driver window switch.
  14. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal E and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the UP position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.
  15. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal A and the B+ circuit terminal E with the switch in the DOWN position.
  16. If greater than 2 ohms, replace the driver window switch.

Passenger Window Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate passenger window switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminals F and G and the B+ circuit terminal A with the switch in the INACTIVE position.
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the appropriate passenger window switch.
  3. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal G and the B+ circuit terminal A with the switch in the UP position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the appropriate passenger window switch.
  4. Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the signal terminal F and the B+ circuit terminal A with the switch in the DOWN position.
    • If greater than 2 ohms, replace the appropriate passenger window switch.

Window Motor

  1. Install a 30-amp fused jumper wire between the control terminal A and 12 volts. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the control terminal B and ground. The appropriate window motor should perform the UP or DOWN function.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the appropriate window motor.
  2. Reverse the jumper wires. The appropriate window motor should perform the DOWN or UP function.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the appropriate window motor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
