Why are the lights on my power window not working?

Why are the lights on my power window not working?

The lights in the switches are powered by the same power feed as the switches themselves, obviously indicating it’s a power supply problem between the fuse box and the switches. According to the wiring diagram, power goes through fuse FJ, F1 then the power window relay.

Where does power go when power window is blown?

According to the wiring diagram, power goes through fuse FJ, F1 then the power window relay. It also looks like if F20 is blown then the power window relay won’t energise. If the fuses look good, I’d get the multimeter into the fuse sockets and work your way back.

What to do when your power windows stop working?

Just buy a switch, disassemble the door (see youtube) and try the switch. In my case that didn’t fix it so I ended up having to get a wiring diagram (searched google images.It’s same as 2004) and trace the circuit. Turned out the tan colored wire (+12 to the master window switch) was broken inside the rubber boot between the door and body.

What happens when a power window switch fails?

Window works from master switch only In some cases the window may not work from its own switch, but the master switch can still put the window up or down. In this case there is a good chance that the power window switch has failed and that the other window components are working properly. 4. Windows work sometimes

What happens if the fuse is blown on a power window?

If the fuse is blown, pushing a window button will do nothing at all: The motor won’t groan and the glass won’t quiver. If the fuse is good and you can hear the motor, or the glass acts like it wants to move, then you’ve got some sort of mechanical problem.

What causes one power window to stop working?

Only one window stops working If only one window stops working, the problem could be a bad relay, fuse issue, bad motor, or the power window switch has failed. The most common reason for one window to stop working is the switch, so this should be looked at by a professional mechanic to have your power window switch replaced.
