Switch, Power Window: Description
A front door power switch module and bezel unit is located near the forward end of the armrest of each front door trim panel. Two different modules are used: a driver side module (1), and a passenger side module (2). Each switch button in both modules is identified with either an International Control and Display Symbol icon or text that clearly identifies the switch function, and each switch button has a Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit soldered to the switch circuit board that provides backlighting of the icon or text for night visibility.
Each switch module housing is secured within the trim panel armrest by spring clip retainers (3), two on each side of the switch module housing. The passenger side switch module includes a small cubby bin. A connector receptacle (4) integral to the switch module housing connect the switches to the vehicle electrical system through dedicated take outs and connectors of the door wire harness.
The front door power switch modules include the following switches:
- Power Lock Switch - A momentary switch button to control the Lock function of the power lock system.
- Power Unlock Switch - A momentary switch button to control the Unlock function of the power lock system.
- Power Mirror Selector Switch (Driver Side Switch Only) - Three mirror selector switch buttons choose the power mirror to be adjusted, R (right), L (left) or a power fold position (both mirrors).
- Power Mirror Direction Control Switch (Driver Side Switch Only) - After a power mirror is selected, pressing down on one of the arrows on the momentary mirror direction switch will move the selected mirror in that direction for as long as it is held down until the limit of the mirror travel is reached.
- Power Window Lockout Switch (Driver Side Switch Only) - A latching push-button power window lockout switch allows the vehicle operator to lock out the power window switches on each rear passenger door so that those windows may be operated only from the driver side front door master switches. When the lockout switch is engaged, the LED backlighting for each rear passenger door power window switch is extinguished.
- Power Window Switches - A single two-way, momentary power window switch with a push-to-open and a lift-to-close tab is provide for each passenger door window while the driver side switch module contains four of these power window switches, one switch dedicated to each door window. The switch tab for the driver side front door power window has a second detent in the down direction which is used to activate the Auto-Down (also known as express down or one-touch down) feature. A second detent in the up direction on both front door power window switches activates the Express-Up feature.
The front door power switch modules cannot be adjusted or repaired. If damaged or ineffective, the entire driver side or passenger side front door switch module must be replaced as a unit.
