  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the master window switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the master window switch and disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate front window motor.
  5. Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal listed below and ground:
    • Terminal 1
    • Terminal 2
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the master window switch.
