This harness of flat wire construction connects to
the front cross-over harness on the left side of
the shroud (fire wall) and extends rearward under

Power windows a r e operated by a rectangular
shaped 1 2 volt series-wound motor with an internal
circuit breaker and a self-locking rubber coupled
gear drive. The harness to the door window motor
connector is designed with a locking embossment
to insure a positive connection. When disengaging
the harness connector from the door motor, it is
necessary to depress the thumb release. When installing the harness, the thumb release must be
held depressed until the embossment on the female
connector is locked in the hole of the motor

Oldsmobile and Cadillac styles only - In addition
to the circuit breaker, a relay is used in the circuit. The relay prevents the operation of the power
windows until the ignition switch is turned '(on".
Cut-Out Switch
A cut-out switch (Cadillac styles only) installed on
the left front door a r m rest, is designed to temporarily by-pass the relay circuit s o the windows may
be operated only from the master control switch
when the ignition is in the off position.

To perform this operation, the cut-out switch cont r o l button is held in the "EMERG" position while
the master control switch buttons a r e actuated.
When the cut-out button is released, the button will
return to the "NORMAL" position.
The cut-out switch button should be set in the
"LOCK" position when ignition switch is "ON') to
permit normal operation of power windows from
all switch locations. If the control button is left
in the "NORMAL" position with the ignition switch
on, the windows will operate only from the master
control switch.
Power Window Circuit Checking Procedures
Failures in a circuit a r e usually caused by short
circuits o r open circuits. Open circuits a r e usually
caused by breaks in the wiring, faulty connection
o r mechanical failure in a component such a s a
switch o r circuit breaker.
Short circuits a r e
usually caused by wires from different components
of the circuit contacting one another o r by a wire
o r component grounding to the metal of the body
due to a screw through the wire, insulation cut
through by sharp metal edge, etc.

It may be necessary to use only one o r all of the
procedures outlined to locate an electrical failure
in the circuit. If the location of the failure is evident follow only the steps required to check the
affected wire o r component. If the location of the
failure is not evident, follow the procedure a s outlined. Be s u r e to check the harness connectors for
proper engagement and become familiar with the
typical circuit diagrams. (See Figs. 11- 23 through
,2f- 30).

Tests a r e made at this location on those styles.
The power window circuit is protected by a circuit
breaker. Refer to electrical introduction for specific locations.
Relay
CONNECTOR
Oldsmobile and Cadillac styles only - In addition
to the circuit breaker, a relay is used in the circuit. The relay prevents the operation of the power
windows until the ignition switch is turned '(on".
Cut-Out Switch
A cut-out switch (Cadillac styles only) installed on
the left front door a r m rest, is designed to temporarily by-pass the relay circuit s o the windows may
be operated only from the master control switch
when the ignition is in the off position.

To perform this operation, the cut-out switch cont r o l button is held in the "EMERG" position while
the master control switch buttons a r e actuated.
When the cut-out button is released, the button will
return to the "NORMAL" position.
The cut-out switch button should be set in the
"LOCK" position when ignition switch is "ON') to
permit normal operation of power windows from
all switch locations. If the control button is left
in the "NORMAL" position with the ignition switch
on, the windows will operate only from the master
control switch.
Power Window Circuit Checking Procedures
Failures in a circuit a r e usually caused by short
circuits o r open circuits. Open circuits a r e usually
caused by breaks in the wiring, faulty connection
o r mechanical failure in a component such a s a
switch o r circuit breaker.
Short circuits a r e
usually caused by wires from different components
of the circuit contacting one another o r by a wire
o r component grounding to the metal of the body
due to a screw through the wire, insulation cut
through by sharp metal edge, etc.

It may be necessary to use only one o r all of the
procedures outlined to locate an electrical failure
in the circuit. If the location of the failure is evident follow only the steps required to check the
affected wire o r component. If the location of the
failure is not evident, follow the procedure a s outlined. Be s u r e to check the harness connectors for
proper engagement and become familiar with the
typical circuit diagrams. (See Figs. 11- 23 through
,2f- 30).
