WINDOW MOTOR.........................2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The window lift motors are of the permanent mag-
net type. A battery positive and negative connection
to either of the two motor terminals will cause the
motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current
through these same two connections will cause the
motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
Each individual motor is grounded through the
master switch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WIRING TEST
The following wiring test determines whether or
not voltage is continuous through the body harness
to the power window switches.
Remove switch for testing. Connect a voltmeter
positive lead to Pin 4 and negative lead to Pin 3 of
the switch harness connector. Turn ignition switch to
the ON position. Voltmeter should read battery volt-
age. If OK, go to Window Switch Diagnosis and Test-
ing. If not OK, check the 30 amp circuit breaker in
the fuse block or for a broken wire. Refer to Group
8W-Wiring Diagrams, for Connector Pin-Outs and
circuit descriptions.
WINDOW SWITCH
Remove the switch from its mounting, refer to Win-
dow Switch Removal and Installation in this section.
Using an ohmmeter, test the window switch for con-
tinuity in all positions Refer to Power Window
Switch Continuity table to determine if continuity is
correct. If the results are not obtained, replace the
switch.
WINDOW MOTOR
(1) Remove door trim panel. Refer to Group
23-Body, Front Door Trim Panel Removal and Instal-
lation.
(2) Connect positive (+) lead from a test battery to
either of the two motor terminals.
(3) Connect negative (-) lead from test battery to
remaining motor terminal.
(4) The motor should now rotate in one direction to
either move window up or down.
(a) If window happens to already be in full UP
position and motor is connected so as to move it in
UP direction no movement will be observed.
(b) Likewise, motor connected to move window
in DOWN direction no movement will be observed
if window is already in full DOWN position.
(c) Reverse battery leads in Step 2 and Step 3
and window should now move. If window does not
move, remove motor. Refer to Window Motor
Removal and Installation in this section.
(5) If window moved completely up or down, the
test leads should be reversed one more time to com-
plete a full window travel inspection.

POWER MIRROR MOTOR
(1) Remove front door trim panel. Refer to Group
23-Front Door Trim Panel Removal and Installation.
(2) Disconnect wire connector.
(3) Use two jumper wires. One connected to a 12
volt source, and the other to a good body ground.
(4) Apply the grounded jumper wire to pin 3 of the
mirror connector, ant then start with pin 2 (horizon-
tal movement), pin 5, and then pin 1 for the heated
mirror.
(5) If test results are not obtained as expected,
check for an open or shorted circuit, or replace mirror
assembly as necessary.
Refer to Group 8W-Wiring Diagrams for Connector
Pin-Outs and Circuit Diagrams.

TROUBLESHOOTING TESTS
Before beginning any tests on a vehicles electrical
system use the Wiring Diagrams and study the cir-
cuit. Also refer to the Troubleshooting Wiring Prob-
lems in this section.
TESTING FOR VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
(1) Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a
known good ground (Fig. 4).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to
be turned ON to check voltage. Refer to the appropri-
ate test procedure.
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
(1) Remove the fuse for the circuit being checked
or, disconnect the battery.(2) Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to one side
of the circuit being tested (Fig. 5).
(3) Connect the other lead to the other end of the
circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good
continuity.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
(1) Remove the fuse and disconnect all items
involved with the fuse.
(2) Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the
terminals of the fuse.
(3) Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring
harness about six to eight inches apart and watch
the voltmeter/test lamp.
(4) If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test
lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that gen-
eral area of the wiring harness.
TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES
POWERING SEVERAL LOADS
(1) Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or
isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
(2) Replace the blown fuse.
(3) Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the
ignition switch or re-connecting the battery.
(4) Start connecting the items in the fuse circuit
one at a time. When the fuse blows the circuit with
the short to ground has been isolated.
TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP
(1) Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to
the side of the circuit closest to the battery (Fig. 6).
