Control Switch & Motor

NOTE: Before checking individual door controls, make sure safety switch is in the "ON" position.
  1. Connect a test lamp between green and white wires on master switch. Operate switch up and down at respective window. If test lamp lights in both "UP" and "DOWN" positions, green and white wire circuit between master switch and that window is good. It also indicates door switch at that window is good.
  2. Connect test lamp lead between blue wire (with tracer) and ground. If test lamp lights, circuit between individual switch and safety switch is good.
  3. Disconnect orange and yellow leads at terminal plate. Connect orange wire to green lead and yellow wire to white lead. If window moves up and down as master switch is operated, switch at individual door is defective. If motor does not operate, remove door trim panel and check motor connections. If motor now operates, switch is defective.
    NOTE: It is possible that both motor and switch may be defective.
