Power Windows Malfunction Coupe

When the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY position and the driver or passenger window switch is pressed in the down position, voltage is applied to the appropriate window motor causing that window to open. When the driver or passenger window switch is pulled in the up position, voltage is applied to the appropriate window motor in the opposite direction causing that window to close.

Power Windows Malfunction Sedan

When the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY position, or retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled and the driver or passenger window switch is pressed in the down position, voltage is applied to the appropriate window motor causing that window to open. When the driver or passenger window switch is pulled in the up position, voltage is applied to the appropriate window motor in the opposite direction causing that window to close.

The driver master control contains a rear window lockout switch which disconnects the battery positive voltage supply to both rear passenger door window switches, disabling them. The RR and LR window switches on the driver master control will continue to function normally.
