POWER WINDOW AND VENT SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove the driver or passenger door power
window switch and bezel assembly from door trim
panel. Refer to group 23, Body for proper procedures.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, Test driver door switch for
continuity as described in (Fig. 2).
* MUST TEST WITH B+ ON PIN 9 AND
GROUND ON PIN 13 FOR CONTINUITY
BETWEEN PINS 11 AND 6
(3) Test passenger door switch for continuity as
described in (Fig. 3).
(4) If the results are not OK, replace the switch.
The driver door power window switch has a Auto-
Down feature. The switch is equipped with two
detent positions when actuating the power window
OPEN. The first detent position allows the window to
roll down and stop when the switch is released. The
second detent position actuates an integral express
roll down relay that rolls the window down after theswitch is released. When the express down relay
senses an amperage spike (motor pushing against
down stop) in the feed circuit, current is turned off to
the motor. The AUTO feature can be cancelled by
actuating the switch UP or DOWN while window is
in motion. Failure of the electronic switch to detect
an amperage spike will cause the switch to discon-
nect after approximately 11 seconds.
POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST
If the power window motor is receiving proper cur-
rent and ground and does not operate proceed with
motor test. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for
circuit information and component locations.
(1) Remove front door trim panel and water shield
as necessary to gain access to power window motor
wire connector, refer to Group 23, Body for proper
procedures.
(2) Disconnect power window motor wire connector
from door harness.
(3) Using two jumper wires, connect one to a bat-
tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite
position to verify full operation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Power seats can be adjusted in eight directions; up,
down, forward, back, tilt forward, or tilt rearward.
Four reversible motors and a transmission located on
the seat tracks provide the various seat movements.
The electrical circuit is protected by a 40 amp fuse in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and a 30 amp
circuit breaker located in the wire harness under the
driver's seat.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before testing the seat functions, verify that the
battery is fully charged and the terminals cleaned
and tightened to ensure proper connections. If the
battery is not fully charged, refer to Group 8A Bat-
tery for proper testing procedures.
The following test will determine if the circuit is
complete through the body harness to the switch:
Using a voltmeter, verify the condition of the power
seat circuit breaker located under the driver's seat.
The circuit breaker also protects the passenger side
power seat track circuit. Check both sides of the cir-
cuit breaker connector for voltage, on the wire side.
²If not OK replace circuit breaker.
²If battery voltage is detected on both sides of the
circuit breaker. Refer to Seat Motor in the Diagnostic
and Testing in this section.²If seat motors test OK, refer to the Seat Switch
in the Diagnostic and Testing in this section.
²Refer to Group 8W Wiring Diagrams for wire
circuit information.
SEAT MOTORS

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Memory Seat and Mirrors system is available only
on Town and Country (Luxury Class) vehicles.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for circuit
information and component locations. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual for addi-
tional diagnostic information.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSM Module) is
mounted under the driver's seat, on the inboard
upper track with Torx head screws. The MSM Mod-
ule provides the driver with an adjustable seat,
recliner, and power side view mirror positioning con-
troller that remembers stored positions and will
recall those positions on command.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module reads all seat and
recliner switch inputs and operates the seat and
recliner motors in response to switch actuation. The
MSM Module monitors position sensing potentiome-
ters (mounted on the motors) for seat and recliner
positioning.
The MSM Module operates the power side view
mirror motors through solid state drivers (electronic
switches) in the recall mode only, and follows the
glass face position by means of rheostats built into
the motor pack assembly of the mirrors. Normal elec-
trical operation of the mirrors is accomplished by
actuation of the power mirror switch.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module monitors the mem-
ory switches and has the capability to store desired
positions in non-volatile memory in response to a valid
input sequence. Refer to Memory Selector Switches (1,
2, and S) and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Data Link.
The memory seat/mirror module also can activate the
previously described motors in response to a recall
request from an individual memory switch.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module monitors a data
link between the RKE receiver and the Body Control
Module (BCM) and will respond to stored information
or modify stored information when requested by a
valid data stream.
The Memory Seat/Mirror Module is connected to
the system through a seat wiring harness that inter-
faces will all of the components within the seat struc-
ture, and with electrical distribution wiring harness
connections to the non-seat mounted components.
The module operates the seat and recliner motors
through relays: four dedicated to track forward/rear-
ward, track front up/down, track rear up/down, and
recliner forward/rearward. A fifth relay controls the
direction of operation of those motors.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWER SIDE VIEW MIRROR POSITION SENSING
The mirror switch on the instrument panel oper-
ates the outside rear view mirrors independently of
the memory seat/mirror module. The module acti-
vates the mirror motors only when in its recall mode.
The side view mirrors have position sensing rheo-
stats built into each side view mirror vertical and
horizontal motor assembly. These rheostats provide a
sense voltage to the memory seat/mirror module that
indicates where the mirror is moving to or where its
position is at when the module is activated but the
mirror motor is not moving.
MEMORY SELECTOR SWITCHES
The memory selector switches are mounted on the
driver's door trim panel within easy reach of the
driver. They provide a means to set or recall either of
