- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window switch.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal F and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal C and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the driver window switch and disconnect the harness connector at the driver window motor.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
- Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal B and control circuit terminal A.
- Ignition ON, command the driver door window UP and DOWN using the driver window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands, test both control circuits for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the driver window switch.
