Power Windows (Service Information): Operation: Operation: Notes
Front door window lift motors use permanent type magnets. The B+ and ground applied at the motor terminal pins will cause the motor to rotate in one direction. Reversing current through the motor terminals will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
The power window motors ground through the master switch in the driver door by a black wire attached to the left cowl panel. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The power rear vent windows, if equipped, are operated by a switch mounted in the driver door switch bezel. A separate switch is used for each window. Permanent magnet type motors connected to a crank system are used to open and close the rear vent windows. 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.
