Description & Operation

A window switch, located at each door panel, controls voltage applied to its respective window motor. Driver-side master power window switch has 3 additional buttons for control of each passenger window. In addition, master switch on Sephia and Spectra has an automatic lowering feature for driver-side window. When activated, a bi-polar relay is energized and remains on until window completes its travel in the down direction.

With ignition on, battery voltage from P/WINDOW fuse (25-amp on Sephia and Spectra) is applied to master power window switch. Driver can control power distributed to passenger window switches with a lock-out feature incorporated into master window switch. By toggling a window switch to desired position, power is supplied to appropriate window motor.

WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service operation. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM article. DO NOT apply electrical power to any component on steering column without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may deploy.
NOTE: Anytime battery cables are disconnected from battery and then reconnected, theft deterrent system will operate (horn will sound and emergency lights will flash for about 3 minutes). To disarm system, insert ignition key and turn key to ACC position.
