Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the power window and lock switch and bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current
through the power window circuit breaker in the junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in either or both power window and lock switch and
bezel units and the power windows are inoperative, perform the diagnosis for Power Window System. If the power windows operate, but any or all of the
LEDs are inoperative, the power window and lock switch and bezel unit with the inoperative LED(s) is faulty and must be replaced. For circuit
descriptions and diagrams, refer to Windows and Glass/Windows/Power Windows.
1. Check the circuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty circuit breaker.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the circuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, turn the ignition switch to
the Off position and go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the circuit to the ignition switch as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window and lock switch and bezel unit from the door trim panel. Unplug the
wire harness connector from the switch and bezel unit.

4. Test the power window switch continuity. See the Power Window Switch Continuity charts to determine if the continuity is correct in the Neutral,
Up and Down switch positions. If OK, see Power Window Motor in the Diagnosis and Testing. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
