Component Description

Master Window Control Switch 

The LH front window control switch is supplied voltage whenever the accessory delay relay is active. For additional information about the accessory delay relay, refer to Delayed Accessory Power.

Base 

XLT, Limited 

Passenger Window Control Switch - Front 

The RH front window control switch is supplied voltage whenever the accessory delay relay is active. For additional information about the accessory delay relay, refer to Delayed Accessory Power.

Base 

The RH window control switch contains 2 relays, which when at rest (inactive), provide a ground path to the power window motor circuit(s).

When the LH or RH front window control switch is activated, the corresponding relay located within the RH window control switch is energized which supplies voltage (high current) to operate the power window motor in the desired direction.

XLT, Limited 

The RH window control switch contains 2 detent positions for each window switch direction. Activating the switch to the first detent position provides a voltage signal (low current circuit) to the corresponding window motor circuit for the direction desired. Activating the switch to the second detent position provides a voltage signal (low current circuit) to both (up and down) window motor circuits to operate in one-touch up/down mode. The RH power window motor interprets the desired window direction based upon which signal it receives first.

Passenger Window Control Switch - Rear 

The rear window control switches receive voltage (high current circuit) from the accessory delay relay whenever it is active. For additional information about the accessory delay relay, refer to Delayed Accessory Power. The rear window control switches receive voltage (low current circuit) from the LH front window control switch when the lock-out switch is in the UNLOCK position. The rear window control switches each have a dedicated ground circuit.

The rear window control switches contain 2 relays, which when at rest (inactive), provide a ground path to their respective power window motor circuit(s).

When the LH or rear window control switch is activated, the corresponding relay located within the rear window control switch is energized which supplies voltage (high current) to operate the power window motor in the desired direction.

Window Regulator Motor - Front 

Base 

The front power window motors are bi-directional. Window direction is determined by the polarity of the voltage and ground being supplied to the motor from the window control switch.

XLT, Limited 

The front power window motor contains integral electronics that control and monitor the glass movement (for obstacle detection and one-touch up/down functionality). The front power window motor inputs contain these circuits:

Window Regulator Motor - Rear 

The rear power window motors are bi-directional. Window direction is determined by the polarity of the voltage and ground being supplied to the motor from the window control switch.
