    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit(s) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. D4 CHECK THE INOPERATIVE WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH 
    • Connect: LH Front Window Control Switch C504a
    • Key in ON position.
    • For an inoperative LH rear window, connect a fused jumper wire between LH rear window control switch C701-1, circuit CPW16 (BU/OG), harness side and LH rear window control switch C701-4, circuit CPW22 (GN/VT), harness side; and between LH rear window control switch C701-3, circuit CPW21 (BN), harness side and LH rear window control switch C701-5, circuit CPW14 (VT/WH), harness side. The LH rear window should operate in the downward direction.
