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
Power window system consists of 2 control switches, a lock switch, and 2 motor and drive assemblies. The master switch on driver's door armrest controls driver's door window and passenger's door window.
The master switch has a one-touch (down) feature which allows driver to fully open driver's or passenger's window by firmly pressing master switch and then releasing. When the window is fully open, the switch will release.
Power windows are regulated by 2 encased cables. See Fig 1 . The cables connect an electric motor-driven regulator to a slider bracket. When power window switch is operated, cables move slider bracket up and down.
