    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to B2.
    • No  : REPAIR Circuit 170 (R/LB) between the left door left window regulator control switch connector C508 and the splice to the left door right window regulator control switch connector C508. TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. B2 CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between the left door left window regulator control switch connector Pins C508-7 and C508-12, Circuits 57 (BK) and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to B3.
    • No  : REPAIR Circuit 57 (BK). TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. B3 CHECK THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE TO THE LEFT POWER WINDOW ELECTRIC DRIVE 
    • Connect: Left Door Left Window Regulator Control Switch C508.
    • Disconnect: Left Window Regulator Electric Drive C524.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Activate the left door left window regulator control switch in the up position and measure the voltage between the left window regulator electric drive connector C524 Circuit 226 (W/BK) and Circuit 227 (Y).
