Power Window Switch

The power windows are controlled by a window/lock switch on the trim panel of each front door. Switches in the driver door window/lock switch allows the driver to control the passenger windows. The power window switch for the driver side front door window has a second detent position beyond the normal Down position, that provides an automatic one-touch window down feature. Some vehicles may be equipped with an express closing feature (front windows only). During an express closing, anytime an obstacle is detected in the way of the glass, the motor will stop and reverses travel to avoid pinching an occupant fingers. Modules in the doors are programmed to compare the position of the glass to the amount of current being used to drive up the glass. The system also includes various features to manage the perceived forces on the glass as it travels up. If the express closing calibration is lost, the system will self-calibrate itself after the windows are moved up and down two cycles. The power window switches control the battery and ground feeds to the power window motors. All passenger door power window switches receive their battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the window/lock switch. When the power window lockout switch is in the Lock position, the battery feed for the individual rear door power window switches is interrupted. Please review the power window switch service information for further operation detail.
