G7 Continued:






Normal Operation
The short drop window feature is activated when one (or both) of the doors are opened which opens a door ajar switch. When a door ajar switch opens, this sends a signal on circuit 1312 (LG/BK) (driver door) or circuit 1314 (YE/LG) (passenger door) to the window motors. The window motors carry out the short drop function.

Possible Causes
- circuit 1312 (LG/BK) open
- circuit 1314 (YE/LG) open
- driver window motor
- passenger window motor
- door ajar switch(es)
