Power Windows: Testing: Switch
- If the failure is in passenger or rear doors, connect jumper wires to that switch connector as shown, depending on model. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . Check operation of motor by making jumper connections on left front main switch connector.
- If the failure is in the left front door, it is not necessary to disconnect or jump any other switch. If the motor operates using jumper wires, a switch is the cause of the failure. If window motor does not operate using jumper wires, perform Motor Lift Test.
