Preliminary Inspection

NOTE: If power windows do not operate for about 10 minutes or until door is opened after ignition is turned off, repair retained accessory power system as necessary. See appropriate wiring diagram in POWER DISTRIBUTION article in WIRING DIAGRAMS.

Check PWR WDO/SR circuit breaker (30-amp), located in right side underhood fuse block. Ensure window are free of mechanical binding, battery is fully charged and ground is clean and tight. Check for broken or partially broken wire inside of insulation which may cause system failure but test okay in continuity and voltage check. Check after market electronic equipment that may affect other systems for proper installation. If no problem is found, repair by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX  table under SYSTEM TESTS.
