What does it mean?

B1927 is a Body (airbags, seat belts, body electronics) fault code. It indicates: Left Rear Window Control Circuit Low .

Symptoms

  • Left rear window does not operate in one direction, or does not operate at all
  • Window does not respond from either the rear switch or the driver master switch
  • Fuse for the rear windows blows repeatedly
  • Motor buzzes or clicks without moving the glass
  • Window falls into the door or stops partway and will not close

Likely causes

  • Control wire shorted to ground inside the left rear door or in its jamb boot
  • Water entering through a damaged door membrane onto the motor or module connector
  • Window regulator binding, or the motor seized so it overloads the output
  • Loom chafed against the regulator rail or a sharp bracket inside the door
  • Rear door window switch failed and holding the control line to ground
  • Body or door module output driver failed shorted
  • Damage after speaker, child lock or aftermarket accessory work in that door

How to fix it

  1. Check the fuse feeding the rear windows and confirm battery voltage before testing further
  2. Read the module codes and watch the output state in live data while operating the window from both switches
  3. Unplug the window motor and measure the control wire to ground with the module also disconnected; a low reading proves a wiring short
  4. If the wiring is clean, bench test the motor for a shorted winding and check the regulator for binding
  5. Peel back the door jamb boot and inspect the harness where it flexes, looking for crushed or bare conductors
  6. Substitute or measure the rear window switch to rule it out
  7. Replace the controlling module last, once wiring, switch and motor have all tested good
