Power Window Master Switch

With switch removed from door, use a self powered test light or ohmmeter to perform following tests. See illustration for pin numbers. 

  1. Clip one test lead probe on switch pin No. 3 which is grounded. With all switches in neutral position, pins No. 4 through 11 should have continuity to pin No. 3.
  2. Push any one or all four of the switches forward. All odd numbered pins of the switches pushed forward should lose continuity to pin No. 3.
