DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWER WINDOWS
The power window system is supplied power from
the 30 amp circuit breaker located behind the fuse
block. Power for the circuit breaker is supplied on
circuit A22 from the ignition switch. This circuit is
HOT when the ignition switch is in the RUN posi-
tion.
Power for the A22 circuit is supplied by the A2 cir-
cuit which is HOT at all times and protected by a
40-amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). The A22 is spliced and supplies power for the
fuses that protect the Airbag, A/C-Heater blower
motor, turn signals, and the heated rear window.
Circuit F21 connects, from the circuit breaker, to
both window switches. This is the feed for the
switches. Both switches use a BUS bar to provide
power for the different functions of the switch.
The ground path for the system is through master
window switch on the Z8 circuit. The grounding point
is located at the instrument panel left center support
brace.
MASTER WINDOW SWITCH (LEFT WINDOW
OPERATION)
When the window switch is moved to the window
DOWN position, voltage is supplied on the F21 cir-
cuit through the CLOSED contacts in the switch to
the Q21 circuit. The Q21 circuit connects from the
switch to the left front window motor. Grounding is
provided on circuit Q11 from the motor back to the
switch. The ground is passed through the switch to
the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit goes to its grounding
point.
When window UP operation is selected, the power
and ground circuits are reversed. Circuit Q11 is the
feed and circuit Q21 is the ground.
MASTER WINDOW SWITCH (RIGHT WINDOW
OPERATION)
When the window switch is moved to the window
DOWN position, voltage is supplied on the F21 cir-
cuit through the CLOSED contacts in the switch to
the Q26 circuit. The Q26 circuit connects from the
master switch to the right window switch. A BUS bar
internal to the right switch passes the voltage
through the switch to circuit Q22. Circuit Q22 con-
nects from the switch to the right window motor.
Grounding is provided on circuit Q12 from the motor
back to the right switch.
The ground is passed through the switch on a BUS
bar to circuit Q16. Circuit Q16 then goes to the mas-
ter switch. The ground is passed through the switch
to the Z8 circuit. The Z8 circuit attaches to its
grounding point.
When window UP operation is selected, the power
and ground circuits are reversed. Circuits Q12 and
Q16 are the feeds and circuits Q22 and Q26 are the
grounds.
RIGHT WINDOW SWITCH OPERATION
When the window switch is moved to the window
DOWN position, voltage is supplied on the F21 cir-
cuit through the CLOSED contacts in the switch to
the Q22 circuit. The Q22 circuit connects from the
switch to the right front window motor. Grounding is
provided on circuit Q12 from the motor back to the
switch. The ground is passed through the switch to
the Q16 circuit. The Q16 circuit connects from the
right switch to the master switch. Ground is passed
through the master switch to the Z8 circuit. The Z8
circuit goes to its grounding point.
When window UP operation is selected, the power
and ground circuits are reversed. Circuit Q12 is the
feed and circuit Q22 is the ground.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
•
Check the 40 amp fuse located in the PDC.
•
Check the 30 amp circuit breaker located behind
the fuse block.
•
Check the ground at the instrument panel left
center support.
