Measure voltage at left front window switch connector Light Blue/Black wire terminal. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Light Blue/Black wire. Clear DTCs and retest system.
  2. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove and disconnect right front window switch. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage at right front window switch connector Light BLue/Black wire terminal. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Light Blue/Black wire. Clear DTCs and retest system.
  3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Measure resistance between ground and right front window switch connector White/Yellow wire terminal. Measure resistance between ground and right front window switch connector Tan/Light Blue wire terminal. If resistances are less than 14 ohms, go to step 5). If resistances are greater than 14 ohms, go to next step.
  4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove and disconnect master switch. Measure resistance in White/Yellow wire between master switch connector and right front window switch connector. Measure resistance in Tan/Light Blue wire between master switch connector and right front window switch connector. If resistances are less than 5 ohms, replace left front window switch. If resistances are greater than 5 ohms, repair open White/Yellow or Tan/Light Blue wire. Clear DTCs and retest system.
  5. Connect jumper wire between right front window switch connector White/Yellow and Yellow/Red wire terminals. Connect another jumper wire between right front window switch connector Light Blue/Black and Red/Yellow wire terminals. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. If right front window operates in DOWN direction, replace inoperative window switch. Clear DTCs and retest system. If right front window does not operate in DOWN direction, remove jumper wires and go to next step.
  6. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect jumper wire between right front window switch connector Red/Yellow and Tan/Light Blue wire terminals. Connect another jumper wire between right front window switch connector Yellow/Red and Light Blue/Black wire terminals. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. If right front window operates in UP direction, replace inoperative window switch. Clear DTCs and retest system. If right front window does not operate in UP direction, remove jumper wires and go to next step.
  7. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect right front power window motor connector. Measure resistance in Yellow/Red wire between right front window switch connector and right front power window motor connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Yellow/Red wire. Clear DTCs and retest system.
  8. Measure resistance in Red/Yellow wire between right front window switch connector and right front power window motor connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace right front power window motor. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Red/Yellow wire. Clear DTCs and retest system.
