Pinpoint Test G : The LH (Left-Hand) Rear Window Control Switch Illumination Is Inoperative Or Always On
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- G1 VERIFY THE POWER WINDOW FUNCTIONALITY
- Ignition ON.
- Operate the LH rear window from the LH rear window control switch and the LH front master window control switch.
Does the LH rear power window function correctly from the LH rear and the LH front master window control switch?
Yes If the LH rear window control switch illumination is always on, GO to G2If the LH rear window control switch illumination is inoperative, GO to G4 No REFER to: Glass, Frames and Mechanisms . - G2 CHECK THE ILLUMINATION OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect LH Rear Window Control Switch C701 .
- Disconnect Driver Rear Door Module (DRDM) C728 .
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C701-4 Ground
Is any voltage present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit. No GO to G3 - G3 CHECK THE LH (LEFT-HAND) REAR WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
- Ignition OFF.
Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to G9 No REPAIR the affected circuit. - G4 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE ILLUMINATION OUTPUT CIRCUIT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect LH Rear Window Control Switch C701 .
- Ignition ON.
- Place a shop light over the ambient light sensor to make sure the illumination can reach maximum brightness.
- Press the dimmer switch up until the panel illumination reaches full brightness.
Does the test light illuminate after the ignition is turned ON?
Yes INSTALL a new LH rear window control switch. Refer to: Rear Door Window Control Switch . No GO to G5 - G5 CHECK THE ILLUMINATION OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Driver Rear Door Module (DRDM) C728 .
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to G6 No REPAIR the affected circuit. - G6 CHECK THE ILLUMINATION GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to G7 No REPAIR the affected circuit. - G7 CHECK THE ILLUMINATION OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C701-4 Ground
Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to G8 No REPAIR the affected circuit. - Measure:
- G8 CHECK THE ILLUMINATION CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to G9 No REPAIR the affected circuit. - G9 CHECK FOR CORRECT DRIVER REAR DOOR MODULE (DRDM) OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all Driver Rear Door Module (DRDM) connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the Driver Rear Door Module (DRDM) connectors and all previously disconnected power window system connectors. Make sure all connectors seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system to determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new Driver Rear Door Module (DRDM). Refer to: Rear Door Module (RDM) . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
