Rear Window Malfunction - From Master Switch
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 appropriate rear power window switch.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the window switch enable circuit terminal D and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the enable circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the window switch UP signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- Ignition ON, with the driver master power window switch, command the appropriate rear window UP and DOWN. The test lamp should illuminate ON and OFF as the switch is activated.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the window switch DOWN signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- Ignition ON, with the driver master power window switch, command the appropriate rear window UP and DOWN. The test lamp should illuminate ON and OFF as the switch is activated.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inoperative rear power window switch.
