Trouble Shooting: Notes

NOTE: To prevent misdiagnosis, ensure no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) exist. See article in BODY CONTROL MODULE article.
  1. Check terminal contact before replacing any component. If power windows, check window circuit breaker, located in fuse block. If circuit breaker is tripped, check for short to ground in Brown wire between fuse block and master window switch.
  2. If windows move slowly, ensure window are free of mechanical binding, battery is fully charged and ground is clean and tight.
  3. If power windows do not operate for about 10 minutes or until door is opened after ignition is turned off, see Retained Accessory Power wiring diagram in POWER DISTRIBUTION article.
  4. Check for broken or partially broken wire inside of insulation which may cause system failure but test okay in continuity and voltage check.
  5. Check after market electronic equipment that may affect other systems for proper installation.
