- Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the front passenger window switch.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the front passenger window switch
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 2.
- Ignition ON, command the rear window UP and DOWN by using the front passenger window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the front passenger window switch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the window motor.
Rear Power Window Malfunction
