Power Window Malfunction - Rear
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative rear power window switch.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the rear power window switch ground circuit terminal E and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for B+ between the rear power window switch voltage supply circuit terminal H and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the B+ fuse is open, replace the appropriate rear power window switch.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the power window switch.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative rear window motor.
- Connect a test lamp between the motor control circuit terminal B and ground.
- Ignition ON, operate the power window switch to the UP and DOWN positions. The test lamp should illuminate ON and OFF as the switch is operated.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the appropriate power window switch.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the appropriate power window switch.
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the motor control circuit terminal A and ground.
- Ignition ON, operate the power window switch to the UP and DOWN positions. The test lamp should illuminate ON and OFF as the switch is operated.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the appropriate power window switch.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the appropriate power window switch.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the inoperative rear power window motor.
