Driver & Front Passenger Windows

  1. Disconnect window motor harness connector. Apply battery voltage and ground between motor connector terminals No. 1 (Red wire) and No. 2 (Green wire). Motor should operate. To reverse motor direction, reverse polarity of voltage to motor.
  2. Using an ammeter in series with 12-volt source and window motor, monitor amperage as window reaches end of its travel. Continue to apply voltage. In 4-90 seconds, thermistor inside window motor should open and amperage should decrease to less than one amp.
  3. Wait 60 seconds, and then reverse polarity of voltage to motor. Window should travel in opposite direction. With voltage still applied at end of window travel, amperage should decrease to less than one amp within 4-90 seconds. If operation is not as specified, replace window motor.
