One Window Inoperative

NOTE: Window glass must be free to slide up and down for power window motor to function properly. If glass is not free to move up and down, motor will overload and trip the circuit breaker.
  1. Place window glass halfway between up and down positions. Verify glass can be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear, and up and down. If glass is not free to move, check window glass, tracks and regulator for sticking, binding or improper adjustment. Repair as necessary and recheck system operation. If glass moves freely, and is not driver's window, go to next step. If driver's window is inoperative, check power window motor. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST  . If Auto Down feature is the only problem, replace driver's switch. If switch LED is the only problem, replace unlit switch.
  2. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove power window switch from door with inoperative window. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for continuity between ground and all terminals on switch wire harness connector except yellow wire terminal. If continuity exists at both terminals, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open circuit between switch connector and driver's switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  3. Reconnect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and yellow wire terminal at power window switch wiring harness connector. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open circuit between driver power window switch connector and switch connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  4. Check driver power window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH  under COMPONENT TESTS. If switch is okay, go to next step. If switch does not test okay, replace switch.
  5. Check continuity of circuits between driver's switch harness connector and all terminals on inoperative switch wire harness connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If continuity exists on all circuits, check window motor. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST  . If continuity does not exist on any circuit(s), repair open circuit(s) between driver power window switch connector and inoperative switch connector.
