Power Window Switch: Description and Operation
On conventional cab and club cab models, the power windows are controlled by two-way switches integral to the power window and lock switch and
bezel unit on the trim panel of each front door. A second power window switch in the driver side switch and bezel unit allows the driver to control the
passenger side window. On quad cab models, the power windows are controlled by four two-way switches and a power window lockout switch that are
integral to the power window and lock switch unit on the driver side front door trim panel. Additionally, each of the passenger doors has a single gang
two-way power window switch mounted in a bezel on their respective door trim panels.
On all models, the power window switch for the driver side front door window has an Auto label on it. This switch has a second detent position beyond
the normal Down position that provides an automatic one-touch window down feature. This feature is controlled by an electronic circuit and a relay that
are integral to the driver side front door power window and lock switch unit.
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 driver side master switch unit. On quad cab models, when the power window lockout
switch is in the Lock position, the battery feed for the individual passenger door power window switches is interrupted.
A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the paddle of each switch is illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position. However, on quad cab
models the LEDs for the passenger power window switches are extinguished whenever the driver selects the Lock position with the power window
lockout switch.
On all models, the driver side power window and lock switch and bezel unit cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire switch unit must be
replaced. On conventional cab and club cab models, the passenger side power window and lock switch and bezel unit cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, the entire switch and bezel unit must be replaced. On quad cab models, the individual passenger power window switches cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the single gang switch unit must be replaced.
