Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Component Testing
Window Motor
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Window Motor.
- Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between one of the control terminals and 12 V. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the other control terminal and ground. Reverse the jumper wires at least two times, the Window Motor should perform the UP and DOWN functions.
- If the Window Motor does not perform the UP and DOWN functions
Replace the Window Motor.
- If the Window Motor performs the UP and DOWN functions
- If the Window Motor does not perform the UP and DOWN functions
- All OK
Driver Window Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Window Switch-Driver.
- Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below with the switch in the open position:
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- If less than 3 Ω
- All OK
Passenger Window Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Window Switch-Passenger.
- Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below with the switch in the open position:
- Ignition terminal A and control terminal G
- Ignition terminal A and control terminal F
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the Window Switch-Passenger.
- If infinite resistance
- 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.
- If less than 3 Ω
- 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
- If 3 Ω or greater
- 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
- If 3 Ω or greater
- All OK

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
