Pinpoint Test B: All Power Windows Are Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Test Step 

  1. B1 CHECK CIRCUIT 400 (LB/BK) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect: LF Window Control Switch C504a.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between LF window control switch C504a pin 6, circuit 400 (LB/BK) harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 

    Result / Action to Take 

    • Yes  : GO to  B4.
    • No  : GO to B2.
  2. B2 CHECK CIRCUIT 400 (LB/BK) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Accessory Delay Relay.
    • Measure the resistance between LF window control switch C504a pin 6, circuit 400 (LB/BK) harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to B3.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. B3 CHECK CIRCUIT 400 (LB/BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between LF window control switch C504a pin 6, circuit 400 (LB/BK) harness side and accessory delay relay pin 87.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to PINPOINT TEST F  to diagnose the accessory delay relay system.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. B4 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between LF window control switch C504a pin 2, circuit 57 (BK) harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new LF window control switch. REFER to SWITCH  in this article.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
