Pinpoint Test D: A Single Power Window Is Inoperative - LH Rear Window
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- D1 CHECK THE LEFT REAR WINDOW OPERATION FROM THE LH FRONT WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH
- Key in ON position.
- Operate the LH rear window from the LH front window control switch.
- Does the LH rear window operate from the LH front window control switch?
- D2 CHECK CIRCUIT 170 (RD/LB) FOR VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: LH Rear Window Control Switch C701
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between LH rear window control switch C701-3, circuit 170 (RD/LB), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- YES : INSTALL a new LH rear window control switch. REFER to Window Control Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D3 CHECK CIRCUITS 884 (YE/BK) AND 885 (YE/LB) FOR VOLTAGE AND GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: LH Rear Window Motor C703
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between LH rear window motor C703-a, circuit 884 (YE/BK), harness side and LH rear window motor C703-b, circuit 885 (YE/LB), harness side while operating the LH rear window control switch in the down then up positions.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts in both switch directions?
- YES : INSTALL a new window regulator and motor. REFER to Window Regulator - Rear Door . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : Go to D4.
- D4 CHECK THE LH REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: LH Rear Window Control Switch C701
- Carry out the Window Control Switch component test on the LH rear window control switch. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING article.
- Did the LH rear window control switch pass the component test?
- YES : Go to D5.
- NO : INSTALL a new LH rear window control switch. REFER to Window Control Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
- D5 CHECK CIRCUITS 884 (YE/BK) AND 885 (YE/LB) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-5, circuit 885 (YE/LB), harness side and LH rear window motor C703-b, circuit 885 (YE/LB), harness side; then between LH rear window control switch C701-2, circuit 884 (YE/BK), harness side, and LH rear window motor C703-a, circuit 884 (YE/BK), harness side.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to D6.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D6 CHECK CIRCUITS 884 (YE/BK) AND 885 (YE/LB) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-5, circuit 885 (YE/LB), harness side and ground; and between LH rear window control switch C701-2, circuit 884 (YE/BK), harness side and ground.
- Are the resistances greater than 10,000?
- YES : Go to D7.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D7 CHECK CIRCUITS 320 (RD/BK)/316 (YE/LB) AND 319 (YE/BK)/317 (GY/OG) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: LH Front Window Control Switch C508
- Measure the resistance between LH front window control switch C508-10, circuit 320 (RD/BK), harness side and LH rear window control switch C701-1, circuit 316 (YE/LB) harness side; and between LH front window control switch C508-11, circuit 319 (YE/BK), harness side and LH rear window control switch C701-6, circuit 317 (GY/OG), harness side.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to D8.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- D8 CHECK CIRCUITS 320 (RD/BK)/316 (YE/LB) AND 319 (YE/BK)/317 (GY/OG) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-1, circuit 316 (YE/LB), harness side and ground; and between LH rear window control switch C701-6, circuit 317 (GY/OG), harness side and ground.
- Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : INSTALL a new LH front window control switch. REFER to Window Control Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
