MOTOR-WINDOW
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WINDOW MOTOR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the trim panel from the door with the inoperative
power window.
2. Unplug the power window motor wire harness connector. Apply 12 volts across the motor terminals to check its
operation in one direction. Reverse the connections across the motor terminals to check the operation in the
other direction. If the window is in the full up or full down position, the motor will not operate in that direction by
design. If OK, repair the circuits from the power window motor to the power window switch as required. If not
OK, replace the inoperative motor.
3. If the motor operates in both directions, check the operation of the window glass and lift mechanism through its
complete up and down travel. There should be no binding or sticking of the window glass or lift mechanism
through the entire travel range. If not OK, check the window glass, tracks, and regulator for sticking, binding, or
improper adjustment.
REMOVAL
The power window motor is integral to the power window regulator unit. If the power window motor is inoperative or
damaged, the entire power window regulator unit must be replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW
REGULATOR - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - REAR/WINDOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) for the
window regulator service procedures.
