Pinpoint Test C: A Single Power Window Is Inoperative - Rear Quarter

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: If smart junction box (SJB) on-demand DTC B1141 or B1142 is present, the rear quarter windows may still function during convertible top operation, but will not function when commanded by the window control switch. Refer to the Smart Junction Box (SJB) DTC Chart for diagnosis.
