    • Ignition terminal C and control terminal A
    • Ignition terminal C and control terminal D
    • Ignition terminal C and control terminal G
    • Ignition terminal C and control terminal H
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the Window Switch-Driver.

    • If infinite resistance 
  3. Test for less than 3 Ω between the terminals listed below with the switch in the open position:
    • Ground terminal F and control terminal A
    • Ground terminal F and control terminal D
    • Ground terminal F and control terminal G
    • Ground terminal F and control terminal H
    • If 3 Ω or greater 

      Replace the Window Switch-Driver.

    • If less than 3 Ω 
  4. Test for less than 3 Ω between the terminals listed below with the switch in the Up position.
    • Driver window - ignition terminal C and control terminal G
    • Passenger window - ignition terminal C and control terminal A
    • If 3 Ω or greater 

      Replace the Window Switch-Driver.

    • If less than 3 Ω 
  5. Test for less than 3 Ω between the terminals listed below with the switch in the Down position:
    • Driver window - ignition terminal C and control terminal H
    • Passenger window - ignition terminal C and control terminal D
    • If 3 Ω or greater 

      Replace the Window Switch-Driver.

      Replace the Window Switch-Passenger.

    • If infinite resistance 
  3. Test for less than 3 Ω between the control terminals listed below with the switch in the open position:
    • Control terminal H and control terminal G
    • Control terminal D and control terminal F
    • If 3 Ω or greater 

      Replace the Window Switch-Passenger.

  4. Test for less than 3 Ω between the ignition terminal A and the control terminal G with the switch in the Up position.
    • If 3 Ω or greater 

      Replace the Window Switch-Passenger.

    • If less than 3 Ω 
  5. Test for less than 3 Ω between the ignition terminal A and the control terminal F with the switch in the Down position.
    • If 3 Ω or greater 

      Replace the Window Switch-Passenger.

    • If less than 3 Ω
