A permanent magnet (PM) motor operates each of the power windows. Each motor raises or lowers the glass when voltage is supplied to it. The direction the motor turns depends on the polarity of the supply voltage.

The master switch assembly controls all of the motors. Each window switch controls only one of the motors.

Master switch assembly operation
When the ignition switch is in ON, battery voltage is applied to the master switch assembly through the P/WINDOW fuse and the RED/BLK wire.

When any of the UP switches in the master switch assembly are operated, battery voltage is applied to the window motor. The window motor is grounded through the DN contact in the master switch assembly. The motor runs to drive the window up. When any of the DN switches in the master switch assembly are operated, battery voltage is applied to the window motor in the opposite direction. The window motor is grounded through the UP contact in the master switch assembly. The motor runs to drive the window down.

Window switch operation
When the ignition switch is in ON, battery voltage is applied to the window switches from the P/WINDOW fuse, the RED/BLK wire, the window lock-out switch and the BLK/BLU wires to terminal 4. When the UP switch in the window switch is operated, battery voltage is applied to the window motor. The motor is grounded through the GRN wire, the DN contact in the window switch, and the DN contact in the master switch assembly. The motor runs to drive the window up. When the DN switch in the window switch is operated, battery voltage is applied to the window motor in the opposite direction. The motor is grounded through the UP contact in the window switch and the UP contact in the master switch assembly. The motor runs to drive the window down.
