Test C: Right Front Window Does Not Operate, 4-Door Models (All Other Windows Operate)

  1. Check Red/Light Blue Wire For Voltage  - Turn ignition off. Remove and disconnect right front power window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Ensure window lock-out switch on driver door master window/door lock control switch is in OFF position. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Using a voltmeter, check voltage between ground and right front window switch connector Red/Light Blue wire terminal. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, go to step 3).
  2. Check White/Yellow & Tan/Light Blue Wires  - Turn ignition off. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between ground and right front window switch connector White/Yellow wire terminal. Check 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 14 ohms or more, go to step 4).
  3. Check Driver Door Master Window/Door Lock Control Switch  - Turn ignition off. Remove and disconnect driver door master window/door lock control switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Ensure window lock-out switch on driver door master window/door lock control switch is in OFF position. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between driver door master window/door lock control switch terminals No. 19 and 20. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair Red/Light Blue wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace driver door master window/door lock control switch. Clear DTCs and retest operation.
  4. Check White/Yellow & Tan/Light Blue Wires For Open  - Turn ignition off. Remove and disconnect driver door master window/door lock control switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance in White/Yellow wire between driver door master window/door lock control switch connector and right front window switch connector. Check resistance in Tan/Light Blue wire between driver door master window/door lock control switch connector and right front window switch connector. If resistances are less than 5 ohms, replace driver door master window/door lock control switch. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If resistances are 5 ohms or more, repair open in White/Yellow or Tan/Light Blue wire(s). Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
  5. Check Right Front Window Switch Down Operation  - 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 Red/Light Blue 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 operation. If right front window does not operate in DOWN direction, remove jumper wires and go to next step.
  6. Check Right Front Window Switch Up Operation  - Turn ignition off. 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 Red/Light Blue 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 operation. If right front window does not operate in UP direction, remove jumper wires and go to next step.
  7. Check Yellow/Red Wire For Open  - Turn ignition off. Disconnect right front power window motor connector. Using an ohmmeter, check 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 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Red wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
  8. Check Red/Yellow Wire For Open  - Using an ohmmeter, check 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. Clear DTCs and retest system operation. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Red/Yellow wire. Clear DTCs and retest system operation.
