Power Window Switch: Description and Operation
Power Window Switch
The power window system allows each of the door windows to be raised and lowered electrically by actuating a switch on the trim panel of each
respective door. A master switch on the driver side front door trim panel allows the driver to raise or lower each of the passenger door windows and to
lock out the individual switches on the passenger doors from operation. The power window system receives battery feed through a circuit breaker in the
Junction Block (JB), only when the ignition switch is in the On position.
The power window system includes the power window switches on each door trim panel, the circuit breaker, and the power window motors inside each
door.
The power window motor and mechanism is integral to the power window regulator unit. If the power window motor or mechanism is inoperative or
damaged, the entire power window regulator unit must be replaced.
The power windows are controlled by a window/lock switch on the trim panel of each front door. Switches in the driver door window/lock switch allows
the driver to control the passenger window (s).
The power window switch for the driver side front door window has a second detent position beyond the normal Down position that provides an
automatic one-touch window down feature. This feature is controlled by the window/lock switch.
The power window switches control the battery and ground feeds to the power window motors. All of the passenger door power window switches
receive their battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the window/lock switch. When the power window lockout switch is in the Lock position,
the battery feed for the individual passenger door power window switches is interrupted.
