Power Window Switches

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup and 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the power windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions. Each two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch provides battery current and ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so that the power window switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power window motor. The switch for the driver side front door power window is labeled Auto and includes an auto-up/down feature. The four door gets both auto-up/down, the two door gets auto-down only feature. When this switch is pressed/depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully lowered or closed positions. The Auto-up/down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch is depressed and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to each of the individual passenger power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door power windows can only be operated from the master switches. The window lockout switch also controls the battery current feed for the LED in each passenger power window switch so that the switch will not be illuminated when it is locked out.
