BULLETIN NO.: 99-T-64

ISSUE DATE: December, 1999

GROUP/SEQ. NO.: Electrical-07

CORPORATION NO.: 99-08-45-006

SUBJECT:
Driver's Side Power Window Switch Intermittently Inoperative (Replace Power Window Switch Assembly)

MODELS AFFECTED:
2000 Saturn S-Series vehicles equipped with power windows (RPO A31)

CONDITION

Customers may comment that the driver's side power window is intermittently inoperative. Some customer observations might be:

^ Window will go down; but, will not return to up position.

^ Window will go down in automatic down mode even when normal mode is activated.

CAUSE

This condition may be caused by the driver side window switch internally latching which causes power window motor to stay On. If the regulator motor stays On when window reaches the end of its travel for approximately 15 seconds, the internal circuit breaker on power window motor will open. After the circuit breaker cools, it will reset and normal power window operation will resume.


CORRECTION

Replace power window switch assembly.
