Pinpoint Test I: A Single Power Window Is Inoperative - Fusion, MILAN, RH Front, LH Or RH Rear
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
- I1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE RH FRONT, LH REAR OR RH REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH
