What does it mean?

B1929 is a Body (airbags, seat belts, body electronics) fault code. It indicates: Left Rear Window Control Circuit Open .

Symptoms

  • Left rear window is completely dead, with no sound from the motor
  • Neither the rear switch nor the driver master switch has any effect
  • Other functions in the same door may also be dead if the shared harness is broken
  • Fault may be intermittent at first, working only when the door is in a certain position
  • Window may be stuck open, which is a security concern

Likely causes

  • Broken conductor in the door jamb boot harness, which flexes every time the rear door is opened
  • Motor or switch connector unplugged or not latched after door trim, speaker or child lock work
  • Open motor winding inside the window motor
  • Blown fuse or an interrupted feed to the rear window circuit
  • Corroded or backed out terminal in the door or module connector
  • Wire cut during aftermarket accessory installation in the rear door
  • Module output driver failed open

How to fix it

  1. Check the fuse and confirm supply voltage at the door module before further diagnosis
  2. Read the codes and watch the module output while commanding the window to move
  3. Confirm the motor and switch connectors are seated and locked, because they are often left off after trim work
  4. Measure continuity from the module connector to the motor connector on both control wires
  5. Peel back the jamb boot and flex the harness while measuring, as broken strands inside good looking insulation are typical here
  6. Check other circuits in the same door, since several dead functions point to a common broken harness
  7. Replace the motor if its winding is open, and the module only as the final step, then reinitialise the window function
