Electric window: Operation

~1min read

I - FITTING TYPES

Three types of window switches on the driver's door may be fitted to the vehicle:

  • electric window for driver and passenger,
  • driver's one-touch window - electric window for passenger,
  • one-touch window for driver and passenger.

Two types of window switches on the passenger's door may be fitted to the vehicle:

  • electric window,
  • one-touch window.

All rear window switches are of the one-touch type.

II - ELECTRIC WINDOW

Operation: power to the window motor passes through the switch, and the polarity reversal (for raising or lowering) is also set by the switch.

III - ONE-TOUCH WINDOW LIFTER

The window lifter switch has two positions for up and two positions for down:

  • First up position: connects the up circuit to ground (simple up).
  • Second up position: connects the up circuit and the down circuit to ground (one-touch up to the fully up stop).
  • First down position: connects the down circuit to ground (simple down).
  • Second down position: connects the down circuit and the up circuit to ground (one-touch down to the fully down stop).
