POWER WINDOWS COLUMBIA BASIN COLLEGE Automotive Technology
COMPONENTS • Master Switch • Individual Switch • Drive Motors • Rack and Pinion Flexible Strip • Safety Switch • Window Regulator
NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH • Powered separately by circuit breaker • Normally used with two field coil motor • Motor is grounded • Tested with Jumper wires or test light
NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCH • Commonly used in most cars • Used with insulated system. • Receives separate power from ignition • Use jumper wires to test system Lab 356 and 357
MASTER CONTROL SWITCH • On Driver’s Door • System grounded through Master Switch if PM Motor • Safety Lock • Ignition must be on. • Must use Continuity Chart to Test Page 354C and 356C
DRIVE MOTORS • Permanent Magnet • most are insulated • Two Field Winding Motor • opposite windings • motor is grounded • TAPE DRIVE • Cable Drive Page 353C
DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR Page 354C
WINDOW REGULATORAssist Up Spring • Less Amps used to raise window • Dangerous when servicing!
WIRING CIRCUITS Page 356C
ONE TOUCH SYSTEM • Most makers use this system • Electronically controlled by “Power Window Control Module” • Less than .3 sec, window travels all the way down • More than .3 sec, window only travels until you let off switch Page 359 Classroom
DIAGNOSE IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME • Think about the circuit you are diagnosing. • Get a plan of action through reasoning • Use the Schematic of the System
DIAGNOSIS • Broken Wire in Jamb • Sluggish Operation • Excessive Voltage Drop • Jumper Leads • Binding Linkage • Lubrication is Important!
Pg 406 Lab Check Switch Operation
Component Replacement • Safety First!! • Cleanliness • Make sure diagnosis is correct. • Verify diagnosis before motor replace • Verify Repair (Is problem taken care of?)
SHOP EXERCISE • Find a Power Window equipped vehicle. • Get a Power Window Schematic for the car you are working on. • Verify type of system you are working on. (Identify switch type and terminals) • Perform Switch test with jumper wires as applicable. (See Page 405 & 406 in Lab manual for a guide.)
