Power Window System

The power window system operates under the control of the accessory relay. The SJB grounds the relay coil to provide power to the power window system when the ignition is in the RUN or ACC position.

Power Window Control

The power window system can be operated from the driver window control switch or from the window control switch located on the passenger door panel. The driver window control switch has 2 modes of operation for the driver power window, manual and auto. The passenger window operates in the manual mode only.

Manual mode moves the window downward until the switch is released. The driver power window will operate in the manual mode when the driver window control switch is pressed to the first detent position.

Auto mode provides the one-touch down feature for the driver front power window. The one-touch down function allows the driver front power window to be completely lowered when the driver window control switch is pressed to the second detent position and then released. One-touch down is controlled by the driver window control switch.
