Each power window contains a reversible power window motor. The direction the window travels is dependent upon the polarity of the supply voltage. By reversing polarity of the supply voltage the window motor will move up or down. Each power window motor is internally circuit breaker protected.

Battery voltage is supplied to each power window switch through the accessory voltage supply circuit. The 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 power window switch. When the power switch is placed in the down position, the power window motor down control circuit is switched to 12V and is applied to the down side of the power window motor. Since the other side of the power 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.

Power Windows Description and Operation

Electrical Information Reference

1. Ignition ON, command the each window UP and DOWN using the window switches on the driver master control and by using their respective door window switches. Each window should perform the UP and DOWN functions from each switch.

⇒	If the passenger door window is inoperative, refer to Passenger Power Window Inoperative

⇒	If the left rear or right rear door window is inoperative, refer to Rear Power Window Malfunction.

2. Disable the rear window switches by activating the window lockout switch on the driver master control. The rear power windows should be inoperative from the rear door window switches.

⇒	If the rear window switches are still active, refer to Rear Window Lockout Malfunction.
