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.
Window Switch
The power window switches control the battery and ground feeds to the power window motors. The driver and front passenger door power window switches are integral to the Driver Door Module (DDM) or Passenger Door Module (PDM). The rear passenger switches are inputs to the DDM or PDM. When the power window lockout switch is depressed it will toggle between window lockout enabled (illuminated red) and window lockout disabled (illuminated emerald green). When the window lockout is enabled, the switch illuminates red and extinguishes the illumination in the passenger window lift switches indicating that they are disabled and will not activate their corresponding window. When window lockout is enabled the DDM will still be able to actuate all of the windows. When the window lockout is disabled, the window lockout switch will illuminate emerald green and again allow the passenger window lift switches to activate their corresponding window and return illumination to the passenger window switches.
