Windows: Description and Operation

POWER WINDOWS
The power window system allows each of the door windows to be raised and lowered electrically by actuating a switch on the instrument panel (front windows) or center console (rear windows). The front window switch allows the front occupants to lock out the individual rear switches from operation. The power window system receives battery feed through a circuit breaker in the fuse block, only when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

The power window system includes the power window switches on the instrument panel (front windows) and center console (rear windows), the circuit breaker in the fuse block, and the power window motors inside each door. For service of the mechanical components, such as the regulator, window tracks, or glass, refer to Body.

The front and rear door window lift motors are of the permanent magnet type. A battery positive and negative connection to either of the two motor terminals will cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current through these same two connections will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.

Each individual motor is grounded through their respective switch.
