Body System (01.00)
Glass, Frame and Mechanism (01.11)
Description
Power to the door window regulator motor is available when
the ignition switch is at position ‘0’ and is supplied, through
a thermal cut-out, to the left and right window switches. The
switches are double pole earth so that the current through a
window regulator motor may be switched in either direction
to raise or lower the glass.
Frameless doors
To avoid damaging the body seals during door opening, the
door glass must be lowered before the door can be opened.
This function is controlled by the door modules.
The door module senses the rotation of the latch claw as the
door opens, the door module then drives the door window
regulator motor briefly to lower the door glass until it clears
the glass seals. After closing a door, the window regulator
motor operates to raise the door glass to seat against the
body seals.
