Power Windows: Description
All models have a tape-driven window regulator system. When motor is activated, the drive gear moves the flex rack along a "T" track and raises or lowers the window glass.

The electric tailgate window system consists of a safety switch, gear box-type regulator, 12-volt motor, wiring, connections and a 30-amp circuit breaker located at the fuse block.
The electric side window system consists of regulator motors, switches, actuators and actuator rods, wiring and connections, and a 30-amp circuit breaker located at the fuse block.
