Rear Window Switches


Rear Window Switches








There are two sets of switches that operate the rear windows. There is a set of rear window switches located in the center console that allow the front seat occupants to operate the rear windows. The second set of switches are located on the rear doors. All rear window switches are non-latching rocker switches.

A conventional window switch circuit controls the rear window system. In the rest position, there is battery voltage at both sides of every switch as well as at the window motors. Operating any switch provides a ground path through the switch to the window motor. Operating the switch in the opposite direction switches the voltage path and the earth path to the motor allowing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

Voltage for the rear windows is from fuse 13 (30A) in the passenger compartment fusebox through the rear window lift relay to the switches and motors.

TestBook cannot monitor the status of the rear window switches.
