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.
Power Windows: Description
The power window system allows each of the door windows to be raised and lowered electrically by actuating a switch on the instrument panel or center console. The front window switch allows the front occupants to lock out the individual rear switches from operation. The power window system receives battery feed through a circuit breaker in the fuse block, only when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The power window system includes the power window switches on the instrument panel (front windows) and center console (rear windows), the circuit breaker in the fuse block, and the power window motors inside each door.
