### Circuit/System Description

Each power window contains a reversible power window motor. The direction the window travels is dependent upon the polarity of the supply voltage. By reversing polarity of the supply voltage the window motor will move up or down. Each power window motor is internally circuit breaker protected.

Battery voltage is supplied to each power window switch through the accessory voltage supply circuit. The power window switch also receives a constant ground source. The power window motor control circuits are connected to ground through the normally closed up and down contacts of the power window switch. When the power switch is placed in the down position, the power window motor down control circuit is switched to 12 volts and is applied to the down side of the power window motor. Since the other side of the power motor is connected to ground through the normally closed contacts of the up switch, the window travels down. By placing the power window switch in the up position, the polarity of the power window motor is reversed and the window travels up.

### Circuit/System Description

The driver window switch is supplied battery voltage through 30A fuse in the underhood fuse block. The driver window switch controls power and ground to the window motor through the motor control circuits. The driver window switch can be energized by the integrated rocker switch. While the driver window switch is in an inactive state, both of the window motor control circuits are grounded. When the switch is energized the battery supply circuit is closed to the corresponding motor control circuit while the other control circuit remains grounded. The supply side of the switch receives voltage through the pwr/wndw fuse.

The passenger power windows can also be operated from the driver window switch master control which provides a low reference. The passenger window switches on the driver master control have 2 positions; UP and DOWN, their position is a direct input into the driver window switch.
