Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G5 and 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Driver Window Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the driver window switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control terminals A and D and the ignition terminal C with the RF window switch in the inactive position.
- If not the specified value, replace the driver window switch.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal A and the ignition terminal C with the RF window switch in the up position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the driver window switch.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal D and the ignition terminal C with the RF window switch in the down position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the driver window switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control terminals G and H and the ignition terminal C with the driver window switch in the inactive position.
- If not the specified value, replace the driver window switch.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal G and the ignition terminal C with the driver window switch in the up position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the driver window switch.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal H and the ignition terminal C with the driver window switch in the down position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the driver window switch.
Passenger Window Switch
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the passenger window switch.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control terminals F and G and the ignition terminal A with the switch in the inactive position.
- If not the specified value, replace the passenger window switch.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal G and the ignition terminal A with the switch in the up position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the passenger window switch.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the control terminal F and the ignition terminal A with the switch in the down position.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the passenger window switch.
Window Motor
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate window motor.
- Install a 30-amp fused jumper wire between the control terminal A and 12 volts. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the control terminal B and ground. The window motor should perform the UP or DOWN function
- If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window motor.
- Reverse the jumper wires; the window motor should perform the DOWN or UP function.
- If the function does not perform as specified, replace the window motor.
