Power Windows (Service Information): Operation

The power window system allows each of the door windows to be raised and lowered electrically by actuating a switch on each door panel. A master switch on the drivers door allows the driver to raise or lower each door window. The power window system operates only when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY position.

Front door window lift motors use permanent type magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current through the motor terminals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.

The power window switches control the battery and ground feeds to the power window motors. The passenger door power window switches receive their battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the drivers window switch.
