WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FRONT POWER WINDOW MOTOR LH POWER SUPPLY 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect front power window motor LH.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check voltage between front power window motor LH connector D9 terminal 4 and ground.

      4 - Ground: Approx. 10V 

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  3.

    NG: GO TO 2.
