Front Passenger Power Window Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Battery voltage is supplied to the front passenger power window switch through the accessory voltage supply circuit. Ground for the passenger power window motor is supplied through normally closed up and down contacts of both the front passenger power window switch and the driver power window switch. When the front passenger power window switch is placed in the down position, the power window motor down control circuit is switched to 12 volts and is applied to the down side of the front passenger power window motor. Since the other side of the front passenger power motor is connected to ground through the normally closed up contacts of both the front passenger and driver power window switches, the window travels down. By placing the front passenger power window switch in the up position, the polarity of the power window motor is reversed and the window travels up.

The front passenger power window can also be controlled from the driver power window switch.
