Power Window Switch: Description and Operation

POWER WINDOW SWITCH
The power windows are controlled by two-way switches integral to the power window and lock switch and bezel unit on the trim panel of each front door. A second power window switch in the driver side switch and bezel unit allows the driver to control the passenger side window. A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the paddle of each switch is illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position.

The power window switch for the driver side front door has an Auto label on it. This switch has a second detent position beyond the normal Down position that provides an automatic one-touch window down feature. This feature is controlled by an electronic circuit and a relay that are integral to the driver side front door power window and lock switch unit.

The power window switches control the battery and ground feeds to the power window motors. The passenger side power window switch receives a ground feed through the driver side power window switch for operating the passenger side power window motor.

The power window and lock switch and bezel unit cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire switch and bezel unit must be replaced.
