Normal Operation
Under normal operation the passenger rear window control switch receives power from the driver window control switch through circuit 170 (RD/LB). The passenger rear window control switch provides power to the power window motor through circuit 882 (BN/YE) and ground through 881 (BN) to operate the passenger rear window down, and power through circuit 881 (BN) and ground through 882 (BN/YE) to operate the passenger rear window up.
When operating the passenger rear window using the driver window control switch, power is sent to the passenger rear window control switch through circuit 320 (RD/BK) and ground through 319 (YE/BK) to operate the passenger rear window down, and power through circuit 319 (YE/BK) and ground through 320 (RD/BK) to operate the passenger rear window up.
Possible Causes
- Open in circuits 170 (RD/LB), 319 (YE/BK), 320 (RD/BK), 881 (BN) or 882 (BN/YE).
