    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to A2.

    No  : INSPECT smart junction box (SJB) fuse 15 (30A). If OK, GO to  A3.

  2. A2 CHECK THE GROUND TO THE LH FRONT WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH - CIRCUIT 57 (BK)

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  : INSTALL a new LH front window control switch. REFER to WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH  in this article. TEST the system for normal operation.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. A3 CHECK CIRCUIT 170 (RD/LB) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: SJB C2280c.
