Pinpoint Test E: A Single Power Window Is Inoperative - RH 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.
- E1 CHECK THE RH REAR WINDOW OPERATION FROM THE LH FRONT WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH
- Key in ON position.
- Operate the RH rear window from the LH front window control switch.
- Does the RH rear window operate from the LH front window control switch?
- E2 CHECK CIRCUIT CPW14 (VT/WH) FOR VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: RH Rear Window Control Switch C801
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between RH rear window control switch C801-3, circuit CPW14 (VT/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- YES : INSTALL a new RH 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.
- E3 CHECK CIRCUITS CPW23 (GY) AND CPW24 (WH/VT) FOR VOLTAGE AND GROUND
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: RH Rear Window Motor C803
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between RH rear window motor C803-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), harness side and RH rear window motor C803-1, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side while operating the right 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 E4.
- E4 CHECK THE RH REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: RH Rear Window Control Switch C801
- Carry out the Window Control Switch component test on the RH rear window control switch. Refer to appropriate COMPONENT TESTING article.
- Did the RH rear window control switch pass the component test?
- YES : Go to E5.
- NO : INSTALL a new RH rear window control switch. REFER to Window Control Switch . TEST the system for normal operation.
- E5 CHECK CIRCUITS CPW23 (GY) AND CPW24 (WH/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between RH rear window control switch C801-5, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side and RH rear window motor C803-1, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side; and between RH rear window control switch C801-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), harness side, and RH rear window motor C803-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), harness side.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to E6.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E6 CHECK CIRCUITS CPW23 (GY) AND CPW24 (WH/VT) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between RH rear window control switch C801-5, circuit CPW24 (WH/VT), harness side and ground; and between RH rear window control switch C801-2, circuit CPW23 (GY), harness side and ground.
- Are the resistances greater than 10,000 ohms?
- YES : Go to E7.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E7 CHECK CIRCUITS CPW17 (BN/GN) AND CPW18 (GY/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between LH front window control switch C504b-4, circuit CPW17 (BN/GN), harness side and RH rear window control switch C801-1, circuit CPW17 (BN/GN) harness side; and between LH front window control switch C504b-8, circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), harness side and RH rear window control switch C801-6, circuit CPW18 (GY/VT), harness side.
- Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to E8.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E8 CHECK CIRCUITS CPW17 (BN/GN) AND CPW18 (GY/VT) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between RH rear window control switch C801-1, circuit CPW17 (BN/GN), harness side and ground; and between RH rear window control switch C801-6, 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.
