Main Power Window/Switch Operation

Battery voltage is supplied to the main power window switch through the accessory voltage supply circuit. The main power window switch also receives a constant ground source. The power window motor control circuits are connected to ground through the normally closed up and down contacts of the main power window switch. When the main power window switch is placed in the down position, the power window motor down control circuit is switched to 12 volts which is applied to the down side of the power window motor. Since the other side of the power window motor is connected to ground through the normally closed contacts of the up switch, the window travels down. By placing the power window switch in the up position, the polarity of the power window motor is reversed and the window travels up.
