Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport & 3000GT
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
With ignition switch in RUN position, battery voltage is
applied to master power window switch located on driver's door. Master
power window switch provides power and ground for all power window
switches and motors. Master power window switch offers one-touch
operation of driver's window. A solid state control unit, incorporated
in master switch, fully lowers driver's window when switch is
completely depressed. Master switch also includes lock-out feature to
prevent passengers from operating any of the other power window door
switches.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
POWER WINDOWS INOPERATIVE
Check for faulty fusible link, faulty power window relay or
faulty power window switches. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
ONE WINDOW FAILS TO OPERATE
If one window does not operate, even if both master and
passenger side power window switches are pressed, check for faulty
master power window switch or power window motor that is inoperative.
If one window does not operate only when either master or passenger
side power window switch is pressed, but does operate when both
switches are pressed, check power window switch that is inoperative.
ONE-TOUCH SWITCH FUNCTION INOPERATIVE
Replace master power window switch.
COMPONENT TESTS
CIRCUIT BREAKER TEST
Press UP switch to fully close window. Continue to press
switch for 10 seconds. Release UP switch and immediately press DOWN
switch. If window begins to open within 60 seconds, circuit breaker is

okay. Circuit breaker is part of window motor.
POWER WINDOW RELAY TEST
Mirage & 3000GT
1) Remove power window relay from fuse/relay block. See
Fig. 1 . Check for continuity between power window relay terminals No.
1 and 3. See Fig. 5. Continuity should be present.
2) Connect positive lead of a 12-volt battery to power window
relay terminal No. 1, and negative lead of battery to terminal No. 3.
Continuity should be present between terminals No. 4 and 5 with
voltage applied. Replace power window relay if continuity is not as
specified.
Montero & Montero Sport
1) Remove power window relay from fuse/relay block. See
Fig. 2 or 3. Check for continuity between power window relay terminals
No. 2 and 4. See Fig. 6. Continuity should be present.
2) Connect positive lead of a 12-volt battery to power window
relay terminal No. 2, and negative lead of battery to terminal No. 4.
Continuity should be present between terminals No. 1 and 3 with
voltage applied. Replace power window relay if continuity is not as
specified.

POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST
1) Remove appropriate door trim panel. Connect positive lead
of a 12-volt test battery to either motor terminal. Connect negative
lead of test battery to other motor terminal. Motor should operate,
unless motor is at maximum travel.
2) Reverse test battery leads. Motor should operate in
opposite direction. If motor does not operate as specified, inspect
wiring. If wiring is okay, replace motor. Reverse test battery leads
again to complete full function test of motor.
POWER WINDOW SWITCH TEST
Remove control switch from trim panel. Using ohmmeter, check
continuity of switch. See appropriate MASTER WINDOW SWITCH CONTINUITY
or SUB-SWITCH CONTINUITY table. See Fig. 7. Replace appropriate switch
as necessary if switch continuity is not as specified.
