B1411
Driver-side electric window motor open circuit
Causes
- Broken or chafed wire in driver door harness (common at hinge area)
- Disconnected, corroded or pushed-out connector pins at motor, switch or BCM
- Blown fuse or faulty relay in window circuit
- Failed driver-side window motor (internal open winding)
- Faulty window switch or door control module
- Body control module output driver failure or internal open circuit
Symptoms
- Driver-side window does not move when commanded
- No audible motor noise from driver door when operating switch
- Intermittent or one-way operation of driver window
- Instrument cluster or infotainment displays window fault message or fault lamp
- Related DTC(s) stored in body/door module
What to check
- Scan and record freeze-frame data and related DTCs; clear code and retry to confirm persistency
- Visually inspect driver door wiring harness, especially through the hinge boot and connector areas
- Inspect motor and switch connectors for corrosion, bent pins, or pushed-out terminals
- Check fuses and any window/comfort relays for continuity and correct operation
- Operate the window while listening/feeling for motor activity and observe for any intermittent behaviour
Signal parameters
- With switch held to move window, motor supply should be near battery voltage (~11–14 V) on one pin and ground/low on the other (polarity reverses to change direction)
- Open circuit: no measurable voltage change at motor connector when switch is operated
- Motor winding resistance (typical, varies by motor) normally low ohms—open winding reads OL/infinite
- Connector pin-to-pin continuity from motor to door module/BCM should be near 0 Ω; open if OL
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all stored codes from BCM and door modules; note freeze-frame data. Clear codes and attempt to re-create the fault.
- Visually inspect driver door harness, grommet and connectors for damage, corrosion, or pinbacking; repair as required.
- Check relevant fuses and relays; replace if blown or faulty.
- Backprobe motor connector while an assistant operates the window switch. Verify voltage appears on the supply pin(s) when commanded. If voltage present but motor does not turn, suspect motor or mechanical binding.
- If no voltage at motor connector, trace wiring back to the switch/module: check continuity to switch and to BCM/door module. Wiggle harness through door opening to check for intermittent breaks.
- Directly bench-test the motor by applying 12 V and reversing polarity; if motor does not run or shows open winding, replace motor.
- Repair any open wires, restore correct connector pin seating, and replace damaged harness sections. After repairs, clear codes and verify proper operation and that code does not return.
- If wiring and motor test good, test or replace the door switch or door control module per manufacturer procedures; if module driver outputs remain open, consider BCM replacement or reprogramming as a last step.
- Safety note: isolate battery when performing connector repairs or module replacement to prevent short circuits and airbag-related issues.
Likely causes
- Broken wiring at door hinge due to repeated door movement
- Corroded/mis-sealed connector at the motor or door module
- Failed motor brushes or open motor winding
- Loose or damaged ground connection at the door/frame

Causes
- Broken or chafed wire in driver door harness (common at hinge area)
- Disconnected, corroded or pushed-out connector pins at motor, switch or BCM
- Blown fuse or faulty relay in window circuit
- Failed driver-side window motor (internal open winding)
- Faulty window switch or door control module
- Body control module output driver failure or internal open circuit
Symptoms
- Driver-side window does not move when commanded
- No audible motor noise from driver door when operating switch
- Intermittent or one-way operation of driver window
- Instrument cluster or infotainment displays window fault message or fault lamp
- Related DTC(s) stored in body/door module
What to check
- Scan and record freeze-frame data and related DTCs; clear code and retry to confirm persistency
- Visually inspect driver door wiring harness, especially through the hinge boot and connector areas
- Inspect motor and switch connectors for corrosion, bent pins, or pushed-out terminals
- Check fuses and any window/comfort relays for continuity and correct operation
- Operate the window while listening/feeling for motor activity and observe for any intermittent behaviour
Signal parameters
- With switch held to move window, motor supply should be near battery voltage (~11–14 V) on one pin and ground/low on the other (polarity reverses to change direction)
- Open circuit: no measurable voltage change at motor connector when switch is operated
- Motor winding resistance (typical, varies by motor) normally low ohms—open winding reads OL/infinite
- Connector pin-to-pin continuity from motor to door module/BCM should be near 0 Ω; open if OL
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all stored codes from BCM and door modules; note freeze-frame data. Clear codes and attempt to re-create the fault.
- Visually inspect driver door harness, grommet and connectors for damage, corrosion, or pinbacking; repair as required.
- Check relevant fuses and relays; replace if blown or faulty.
- Backprobe motor connector while an assistant operates the window switch. Verify voltage appears on the supply pin(s) when commanded. If voltage present but motor does not turn, suspect motor or mechanical binding.
- If no voltage at motor connector, trace wiring back to the switch/module: check continuity to switch and to BCM/door module. Wiggle harness through door opening to check for intermittent breaks.
- Directly bench-test the motor by applying 12 V and reversing polarity; if motor does not run or shows open winding, replace motor.
- Repair any open wires, restore correct connector pin seating, and replace damaged harness sections. After repairs, clear codes and verify proper operation and that code does not return.
- If wiring and motor test good, test or replace the door switch or door control module per manufacturer procedures; if module driver outputs remain open, consider BCM replacement or reprogramming as a last step.
- Safety note: isolate battery when performing connector repairs or module replacement to prevent short circuits and airbag-related issues.
Likely causes
- Broken wiring at door hinge due to repeated door movement
- Corroded/mis-sealed connector at the motor or door module
- Failed motor brushes or open motor winding
- Loose or damaged ground connection at the door/frame

Driver Power Window Motor Circuit Open
Causes
- Broken or chafed wire in driver door harness (common at hinge area)
- Disconnected, corroded or pushed-out connector pins at motor, switch or BCM
- Blown fuse or faulty relay in window circuit
- Failed driver-side window motor (internal open winding)
- Faulty window switch or door control module
- Body control module output driver failure or internal open circuit
Symptoms
- Driver-side window does not move when commanded
- No audible motor noise from driver door when operating switch
- Intermittent or one-way operation of driver window
- Instrument cluster or infotainment displays window fault message or fault lamp
- Related DTC(s) stored in body/door module
What to check
- Scan and record freeze-frame data and related DTCs; clear code and retry to confirm persistency
- Visually inspect driver door wiring harness, especially through the hinge boot and connector areas
- Inspect motor and switch connectors for corrosion, bent pins, or pushed-out terminals
- Check fuses and any window/comfort relays for continuity and correct operation
- Operate the window while listening/feeling for motor activity and observe for any intermittent behaviour
Signal parameters
- With switch held to move window, motor supply should be near battery voltage (~11–14 V) on one pin and ground/low on the other (polarity reverses to change direction)
- Open circuit: no measurable voltage change at motor connector when switch is operated
- Motor winding resistance (typical, varies by motor) normally low ohms—open winding reads OL/infinite
- Connector pin-to-pin continuity from motor to door module/BCM should be near 0 Ω; open if OL
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all stored codes from BCM and door modules; note freeze-frame data. Clear codes and attempt to re-create the fault.
- Visually inspect driver door harness, grommet and connectors for damage, corrosion, or pinbacking; repair as required.
- Check relevant fuses and relays; replace if blown or faulty.
- Backprobe motor connector while an assistant operates the window switch. Verify voltage appears on the supply pin(s) when commanded. If voltage present but motor does not turn, suspect motor or mechanical binding.
- If no voltage at motor connector, trace wiring back to the switch/module: check continuity to switch and to BCM/door module. Wiggle harness through door opening to check for intermittent breaks.
- Directly bench-test the motor by applying 12 V and reversing polarity; if motor does not run or shows open winding, replace motor.
- Repair any open wires, restore correct connector pin seating, and replace damaged harness sections. After repairs, clear codes and verify proper operation and that code does not return.
- If wiring and motor test good, test or replace the door switch or door control module per manufacturer procedures; if module driver outputs remain open, consider BCM replacement or reprogramming as a last step.
- Safety note: isolate battery when performing connector repairs or module replacement to prevent short circuits and airbag-related issues.
Likely causes
- Broken wiring at door hinge due to repeated door movement
- Corroded/mis-sealed connector at the motor or door module
- Failed motor brushes or open motor winding
- Loose or damaged ground connection at the door/frame
