Pinpoint Test D: A Single Power Window Is Inoperative - LH Rear Window
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 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 CPW14 (VT/WH) 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 CPW14 (VT/WH), 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 CPW21 (BN) AND CPW22 (GN/VT) 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 C703-1, circuit CPW23 (GY), harness side and LH rear window motor C703-2, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), 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 appropriate 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 CPW23 (GY) AND CPW24 (WH/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-5, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side and LH rear window motor C703-1, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side; then between LH rear window control switch C701-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), harness side, and LH rear window motor C703-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), 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 CPW23 (GY) AND CPW24 (WH/VT) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-5, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side and ground; and between LH rear window control switch C701-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), 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 CPW15 (YE)/CPW17 (BN/GN) AND CPW16 (BU/OG)/CPW18 (GY/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: LH Front Window Control Switch C504b
- Measure the resistance between LH front window control switch C504b-1, circuit CPW15 (YE), harness side and LH rear window control switch C701-1, circuit CPW17 (BN/GN) harness side; and between LH front window control switch C504B-6, circuit CPW16 (BU/OG), harness side and LH rear window control switch C701-6, circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), 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 CPW17 (BN/GN) AND CPW18 (GY/VT) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between LH rear window control switch C701-1, circuit CPW17 (BN/GN), harness side and ground; and between LH rear window control switch C701-6, circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), 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.
