Pinpoint Test E: Single Power Window Is Inoperative - Passenger Rear Window
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Ford Explorer, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- E1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH - CIRCUIT 170 (RD/LB)
- Disconnect: Passenger Rear Window Control Switch C801.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between the passenger rear window control switch C801-3, circuit 170 (RD/LB) harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
NOTE: Set the driver window control switch to the UNLOCK position.Fig 1: Measuring Voltage Between Passenger Rear Window Control Switch C801-3, Circuit 170 (RD/LB) Harness Side And GroundCourtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
- Yes : GO to E2.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST system for normal operation.
- E2 CHECK THE GROUNDS TO THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH - CIRCUITS 320 (RD/BK) AND 319 (YE/BK)
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between passenger rear window control switch C801-1, circuit 320 (RD/BK) and C801-6, circuit 319 (YE/BK) harness side and ground.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to E4.
- No : GO to E3.
- E3 CHECK CIRCUITS 320 (RD/BK) AND 319 (YE/BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Driver Window Control Switch C504b.
- Measure the resistance between driver window control switch C504b-2, circuit 320 (RD/BK) and passenger rear window control switch C801-1, circuit 320 (RD/BK) harness side.
- Measure the resistance between driver window control switch C504b-3, circuit 319 (YE/BK) and passenger rear window control switch C801-6, circuit 319 (YE/BK) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
NOTE: Set the driver window control switch to the UNLOCK position.- Yes : INSTALL a new passenger rear window control switch. REFER to WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit 320 (RD/BK) or circuit 319 (YE/BK). TEST system for normal operation.
- E4 CHECK THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH
- Disconnect: Passenger Rear Window Control Switch C801.
- Key in ON position.
- Connect a jumper wire between passenger rear window control switch C801-6, circuit 319 (YE/BK) and C801-5, circuit 881 (BN) and a second jumper wire between C801-3, circuit 170 (RD/LB) and C801-9, circuit 882 (BN/YE) harness side. The window should operate in the down direction.
- Connect a jumper wire between passenger rear window control switch C801- 1, circuit 320 (RD/BK) and C801-2, circuit 882 (BN/YE) and a second jumper wire between C801-3, circuit 170 (RD/LB) and C801-5, circuit 881 (BN) harness side. The window should operate in the up direction.
- Does the window operate correctly?
- Yes : If the passenger rear window did not operate with the passenger rear window control switch, INSTALL a new passenger rear window control switch. If the passenger rear power window did operate with the passenger rear window control switch but not with the driver front window control switch, INSTALL a new driver front window control switch. REFER to WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : GO to E5.
- E5 CHECK CIRCUITS 882 (BN/YE) AND 881 (BN) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Passenger Rear Window Motor C803. Measure the resistance between the passenger rear window control switch C801-5, circuit 881 (BN) and passenger rear window motor C803-1, circuit 881 (BN) harness side.
- Measure the resistance between the passenger rear window control switch C801-2, circuit 882 (BN/YE) and passenger rear window motor C803-2, circuit 882 (BN/YE) harness side.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new passenger rear window motor. REFER to REAR DOOR GLASS, FRAMES AND MECHANISMS - EXPLODED VIEW and WINDOW REGULATOR - REAR DOOR . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR circuit 881 (BN) or circuit 882 (BN/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.
