Power Window Switch

DESCRIPTION 

A front door power switch module and bezel unit is located near the forward end of the armrest of each front door trim panel. Two different modules are used: a driver side module, and a passenger side module. Each switch button in both modules is identified with either an International Control and Display Symbol icon or text that clearly identifies the switch function, and each switch button has a Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit soldered to the switch circuit board that provides backlighting of the icon or text for night visibility.

Each switch module housing is secured within the trim panel armrest by spring clip retainers, two on each side of the switch module housing. A connector receptacle integral to the switch module housing connect the switches to the vehicle electrical system through dedicated take outs and connectors of the door wire harness.

The front door power switch modules include the following switches:

• Power Mirror Selector Switch (Driver Side Switch Only)  - Three mirror selector switch buttons choose the power mirror to be adjusted, R  (right), L  (left) or a power fold position (both mirrors).
• Power Mirror Direction Control Switch (Driver Side Switch Only)  - After a power mirror is selected, pressing down on one of the arrows on the momentary mirror direction switch will move the selected mirror in that direction for as long as it is held down until the limit of the mirror travel is reached.
• Power Folding Mirror Switch  - A single toggle switch exists for folding and unfolding the outside rearview mirror assembly.
• Sliding Door Release Switch  - The power sliding door release switch allows the driver to allow ease of access to the cargo area of the van.
• Power Window Switches  - A single two-way, momentary power window switch with a push-to-open and a lift-to-close tab is provide for each passenger door window while the driver side switch module contains four of these power window switches, one switch dedicated to each door window.

The front door power switch modules cannot be adjusted or repaired. If damaged or ineffective, the entire driver side or passenger side front door switch module must be replaced as a unit.

OPERATION 

The driver side front door power switch bank module combines a power window switch for each of the door windows, a power window lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and a power mirror adjustment, a power mirror folding switch, a sliding door release switch in a single unit. The passenger side power door switch bank module combines a passenger side front door power window switch.

The driver side front door power switch bank module provides resistor multiplexed outputs to the Body Control Module (BCM) indicating the power lock switch selection, hardwired analog outputs indicating the power mirror selector switch and adjustment switch selections, and electronic message outputs over a Local Interface Network (LIN) data bus connection indicating the power window switch selections.
