Circuit/System Description

The window motors are supplied with B+ voltage which is used to power the motor and also used as a reference voltage within the logic circuit. When the driver or passenger window switch is actuated, a switch closes, causing the reference voltage in that window motor circuit to drop. The window motor responds by moving the window in the required direction.
