  10. Measure resistance in Yellow/Black wire between right rear window switch harness connector C706 terminal No. 2 and driver's door master window switch harness connector C503 terminal No. 16. See Figure and Fig 1 . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace driver's door master window switch. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Yellow/Light Blue wire.
  11. Measure resistance between ground and right rear window motor harness connector Yellow/Red wire terminal. If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to ground in Yellow/Red wire.
  12. Measure resistance in Yellow/Red wire between right rear window motor harness connector terminal and right rear window switch harness connector C806 terminal No. 5. See Fig 1 . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace right rear window switch. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Yellow/Red wire.
  13. Measure resistance between ground and inoperative window motor harness connector Yellow/Red wire terminal. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, replace driver's door master window switch.
  14. Measure voltage between ground and inoperative window motor harness connector Red/Yellow wire terminal while pressing driver's door master window switch to appropriate window UP position. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step for left rear window or go to step  20 for right rear window. If battery voltage exists, go to step  25 .
  15. Disconnect left rear window switch harness connector C706. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and left rear window switch harness connector C706 terminal No. 4 (Gray/Orange wire) while pressing driver's door master window switch to left rear window UP position. See Fig 1 . If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, go to step  18 .
  16. Disconnect driver's door master window switch harness connector C503. Measure resistance between ground and left rear window switch harness connector C706 terminal No. 4 (Gray/Orange wire). If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to ground in Gray/Orange wire.
  17. Measure resistance in Gray/Orange wire between left rear window switch harness connector C706 terminal No. 4 and driver's door master window switch harness connector C503 terminal No. 17. See Figure and Fig 1 . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace driver's door master window switch. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Gray/Orange wire.
  18. Measure resistance between ground and left rear window motor harness connector Red/Yellow wire terminal. If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to ground in Red/Yellow wire.
