Rear Power Window Malfunction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. 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 window switch.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal F and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal G and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal D and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the driver window switch.
- Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- Command the rear window DOWN using the appropriate window switch on the driver master control, the test lamp should illuminate during the DOWN command.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the driver window switch.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the driver window switch.
- Connect a test lamp between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- Command the rear window UP using the window switch on the driver master control, the test lamp should illuminate during the UP command.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the driver window switch.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the driver window switch.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at rear window switch and disconnect the harness connector at the rear window motor.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the control circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- Terminal A
- Terminal B
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear window switch.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal A and control circuit terminal B.
- Command the rear window UP and DOWN by using the rear window switch. The test lamp should illuminate when commanding the UP and DOWN states.
- If the test lamp remains OFF during either of the commands, test either control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the rear window switch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear window motor.
IMPORTANT:
Check the lockout switch on the driver door switch and verify the rear window switches are enabled.
