Wire). Check for voltage by touching test light probe to harness
connector terminals No. 9 (Tan/Dark Green Wire) and No. 11 (Tan Wire)\
.
3) If test light illuminates, ground circuit and circuit
between battery and switch are okay. If test light does not
illuminate, check power and ground circuits. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
Dakota & Ram Pickup
1) Check circuit breaker for power window system. See TROUBLE
SHOOTING. Replace circuit breaker as necessary. If circuit breaker is
okay, go to next step.
2) Remove driver's front power window switch. See POWER
WINDOW SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for continuity
between ground and terminal No. 3 at driver power window switch wiring
harness connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If continuity exists, go to
next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black/Light
Green wire (Ram Pickup) or Black wire (Dakota) between driver power
window switch connector and ground.
3) Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and
terminal No. 5 (Tan wire) at driver's power window switch wiring
harness connector. If battery voltage is present, check driver power
window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under COMPONENT TESTS. If
battery voltage is not present, repair open Tan wire between driver
power window switch connector and ignition switch. See WIRING
DIAGRAMS.
Durango
1) Check circuit breaker for power window system. See TROUBLE
SHOOTING. Replace circuit breaker as necessary. If circuit breaker is
okay, go to next step.
2) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove driver's front
power window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION.
3) Check for continuity between ground and terminal No. 5
(Black wire) at driver's power window switch wiring harness connector.\
See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If continuity exists, go to next step. If
continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire between driver's
power window switch connector and ground.
4) Reconnect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on.
Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 4 (Tan wire) at
driver's power window switch wiring harness connector. If battery
voltage is present, check driver's power window switch. See POWER
WINDOW SWITCH under COMPONENT TESTS. If battery voltage is not
present, repair open Tan wire between driver power window switch
connector and ignition switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
Ram Van & Ram Wagon
1) Check circuit breaker for power window system. See TROUBLE
SHOOTING. Replace circuit breaker as necessary. If circuit breaker is
okay, go to next step.
2) Remove driver's front power window switch. See POWER
WINDOW SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for continuity
between ground and driver power window switch wiring harness connector
terminal No. 2 (Black wire). If continuity exists, go to next step. If\
continuity does not exist, repair open in Black wire between driver
power window switch connector and ground.
3) Check for battery voltage at driver's power window switch
harness connector terminal No. 5. If battery voltage exists, check
window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under COMPONENT TESTS. If
battery voltage does not exist, repair open Tan wire.
ONE WINDOW INOPERATIVE
NOTE: Window glass must be free to slide up and down for power

Page 1598 of 1691

DODGE RAM 1999 Service Repair Manual window motor to function properly. If glass is not free to
move up and down, motor will overload and trip the circuit
breaker.
Dakota & Ram Pickup
1) Place

window motor to function properly. If glass is not free to
move up and down, motor will overload and trip the circuit
breaker.
Dakota & Ram Pickup
1) Place window glass halfway between up and down positions.
Verify glass can be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear,
and up and down. If glass does not move freely, check window glass,
tracks and regulator for sticking, binding or improper adjustment.
Repair as necessary and recheck system operation. If glass moves
freely, go to next step.
2) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove power window
switch from door with inoperative window. Disconnect power window
switch connector. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition on.
Check for battery voltage at power window switch harness connector
terminal No. 5 (driver's window) or terminal No. 11 (passenger's
window). If battery voltage does not exist, repair open Tan wire
between junction block and power window switch. If battery voltage
exists, go to next step (inoperative passenger's window) or go step 4)\
(inoperative driver's window).
3) Disconnect negative battery cable. Check for continuity
between ground and passenger window switch harness connector terminals
No. 1 (Brown/White wire) and 2 (Violet/White wire). If continuity
exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open
circuit in wiring harness between window switches.
4) Check power window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under
COMPONENT TESTS. Replace faulty power window switch as necessary. If
switch is okay, go to next step.
5) Check for continuity between window switch wiring
connector terminals and corresponding window motor wire connector
terminals of inoperative power window. If continuity exists in all
circuits, power window switch and switch circuits are okay. Check
power window motor. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR under COMPONENT TESTS. If
continuity does not exist in one or more circuits, repair open
circuit(s) as necessary. Recheck system operation.
Durango
1) Place window glass halfway between up and down positions.
Verify glass can be moved slightly from side to side, front to rear,
and up and down. If glass does not move freely, check window glass,
tracks and regulator for sticking, binding or improper adjustment.
Repair as necessary and recheck system operation. If glass moves
freely, and is not driver's window, go to next step. If driver's
window is inoperative, check power window motor. See POWER WINDOW
MOTOR under COMPONENT TESTS. If Auto Down feature is the only problem,
replace driver's switch. If switch LED is the only problem, replace
unlit switch.
2) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove power window
switch from door with inoperative window. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Connect negative battery cable. Turn
ignition on. Check for battery voltage at power window switch harness
connector Yellow wire. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open
circuit to master window switch. If battery voltage exists, go to next
step.
3) Test power window switch continuity. See POWER WINDOW
SWITCH under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace faulty switch as necessary. If
switch is okay, go to next step.
4) Check for continuity in each circuit between master window
switch and switch for inoperative window. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If
continuity does not exist in any circuit, repair open circuit as
necessary. If continuity exists in all circuits, test power window
motor. See POWER WINDOW MOTOR under COMPONENT TESTS.

2) Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect and remove
power window switch in door with inoperative window. See POWER WINDOW
SWITCH under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Connect negative battery cable.
Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between passenger power window
switch wiring harness connector terminal (Tan wire) or driver power
window switch wiring harness connector terminal (Tan wire) and ground.\
See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If battery voltage is not present, repair open
Tan wire as necessary. If battery voltage exists, and inoperative
window is on driver side, go to step 4). If battery voltage exists,
and inoperative window is on passenger side, go to next step.
NOTE: Passenger's power window switch is grounded through driver's
power window switch.
3) Disconnect negative battery cable. Check continuity
between ground and passenger's power window switch harness connector
terminals No. 2 (Brown/White wire) and No. 4 (Violet/White wire). Se\
e
WIRING DIAGRAMS. If continuity exists on both circuits, go to step 5).
If continuity does not exist on either or both circuits, repair open
circuit.
4) Check power window switch. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH under
COMPONENT TESTS. Replace faulty power window switch as necessary. If
switch is okay, go to next step.
5) Using an ohmmeter, check continuity of each circuit
between inoperative power window switch wiring harness connector and
corresponding power window motor wiring harness connector terminal.
See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If continuity does not exist in one or more
circuits, repair open circuit(s) as necessary. Recheck system
operation. If continuity exists in all circuits, power window switch
and switch circuits are okay. Check power window motor. See POWER
WINDOW MOTOR under COMPONENT TESTS.
