    Turn the ignition off.

    Remove the left front door trim panel

    Disconnect the Left Window Regulator Module connector.

    Connect a jumper wire between the Fused B+ circuit and the Rear Window Driver Down circuit in the connector.

    Connect a second jumper wire to the Rear Window Driver Down circuit and momentarily touch it to Ground (the motor should begin to lower the window).

    Reverse the jumper wires momentarily to drive the motor Up.

    Did the window motor operate properly? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the Left Window Regulator Module in accordance with service information.
    2. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE - BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) , also see (STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/ECM/SKREEM PROGRAMMING) .

    No 

    1. Go To step  3).
