Diagnostic Aids
Each door module has a separate battery positive voltage circuit that it uses exclusively for power window motor operation, however, the circuits are all fed by the same PWR WDO circuit breaker located in the rear fuse block. These circuits are in harness connector C3 of each front door module, and in harness connector C2 of each rear door module. If this circuit opens at a point where the separate branches are all joined, all power windows will be inoperative. A short to ground in this circuit will open the PWR WDO circuit breaker, which will also cause all power windows to be inoperative. Refer to Power Window Schematics and Door Control Module Schematics .
Test Description
The Numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step determines if this is the correct chart for the symptom.
-
This step determines if a door module is internally shorted to ground, or the door module battery positive voltage circuit, associated with front door modules connector C3 and rear door modules connector C2, is shorted to ground.
Step | Action | Yes | No |

1 | Did you perform the Door Systems Diagnostic System Check? | Go to Step 2 | |
Does any window operate? | Go to Symptoms - Doors | Go to Step 3 | |
3 |
Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 9 |
4 | Connect the test lamp between the two terminals of the PWR WDO circuit breaker connector in the rear fuse block. Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Operate any one of the power window switches while observing the test lamp. Does the test lamp illuminate? | Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 8 |
Disconnect each door module, one at a time, while observing the test lamp. Does the test lamp go out after any module is disconnected? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 10 | |
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the suspect door module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 11 |
8 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the rear fuse block. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 12 |
9 | Repair the open in the PWR WDO circuit breaker battery positive voltage supply circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 14 | -- |
10 | Repair the short to ground in the battery positive voltage circuit between the rear fuse block and the door modules. This would be the battery positive voltage circuit associated with connectors C3 of the front door modules, and associated with connectors C2 of the rear door modules. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 14 | -- |
11 | Replace the door module that is internally shorted to ground. Refer to Door Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 14 | -- |
12 | Replace the rear fuse block. Refer to Rear Electrical Center or Junction Block Replacement in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 14 | -- |
13 | Replace the PWR WDO circuit breaker. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 14 | -- |
14 | Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? | System OK | Go to Step 2 |
