Power Window Operating Current Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the power window fuse and connect an ammeter as shown in the illustration.
  2. When the power window switch is pressed to the UP position, a large amount of current flows at the time the window starts to close and when it is fully closed, so measure the operation current in the interval between these two points.

    Standard value (A): 5 +/- 1A [Power supply voltage 14.5 +/- 0.5V, 25°C (77°F)] 

  3. If the operation current is outside the standard value, refer to DIAGNOSIS .
