Pinpoint Test B - Single Power Window Inoperative

  1. Determine Inoperative Window  - Turn ignition on. Operate all power window switches in all positions. If right front window fails to operate, go to step 6). If any other window fails to operate, go to next step.
  2. Inoperative Window Power Supply Check  - Remove left power window switch. Using a test light, backprobe appropriate wire while actuating power window switch in corresponding positions. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION  table. If test light comes on at appropriate switch positions, go to next step. If test light does not come on at appropriate switch positions, replace left power window switch. Retest system.
    POWER WINDOW MOTOR CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION

    Circuit Function Wire Color
    Left Window Down Yellow
    Left Window Up White/Black
    Right Window Down White/Yellow
    Right Window Up Tan/Light Blue
  3. Inoperative Power Window Motor Circuit Check  - Access inoperative power window motor. Unplug motor harness connector. Using a test light, check appropriate terminal while actuating power window switch in proper positions. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION  table. If test light does not come on at appropriate switch positions, go to next step. If test light comes on at appropriate switch positions, go to step 5).
  4. Circuit Continuity Check  - Unplug connector from driver's power window switch. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of suspect circuit between harness connector and driver's door power window switch connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in suspect wire(s). Retest system.
  5. Power Window Motor Test  - Connect one end of a jumper wire to power window motor connector terminal No. 1. Connect the other end to battery voltage. Connect one end of a second jumper wire to power window motor connector terminal No. 2. Connect the remaining end to ground. If motor operates correctly, power window is okay. If motor does not operate correctly, replace power window motor. Retest system.
  6. Inoperative Right Door Power Window Motor Test  - Remove right door power window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using a test light, probe White/Yellow wire at motor connector. Actuate right door window from driver's power window switch for downward operation. Disconnect test light from White/Yellow wire and probe Tan/Light Blue wire at motor connector. Actuate right door window from driver's door power window switch for upward operation. If test light comes on under both conditions, go to next step. If test light does not come on under both conditions, replace driver's door power window switch. Retest system.
  7. Power Supply To Right Door Power Window Switch Check  - Check Red/Light Blue wire for voltage at right door power window switch connector. If 10 volts or greater exists, go to next step. If less than 10 volts exist, repair open in Red/Light Blue wire. Retest system.
  8. Right Door Power Window Motor Down Circuit Check  - Using a test light, probe White/Yellow wire at driver's door switch connector. Actuate right door power window switch for down operation. If test light comes on, go to next step. If test light does not come on, replace right door power window switch. Retest system.
  9. Right Door Power Window Motor Up Circuit Check  - Using a test light, probe Tan/Light Blue wire at driver's door switch connector. Actuate right door power window switch for down operation. If test light comes on, go to next step. If test light does not come on, replace right door power window switch. Retest system.
  10. Right Door Power Window Motor Down Circuit Power Supply Check  - Using a test light, probe White/Yellow wire at right door motor connector. Actuate right door power window switch for down operation. If test light comes on, go to next step. If test light does not come on, repair open in White/Yellow wire. Retest system.
  11. Right Door Power Window Motor Up Circuit Power Supply Check  - Using a test light, probe Tan/Light Blue wire at right door motor connector. Actuate right door power window switch for down operation. If test light comes on, go to next step. If test light does not come on, repair open in Tan/Light Blue wire. Retest system.
