I do not know when they moved it, but my '94 has the switch located on the door latch itself, but later models have it on the striker that is mounted to the B-pillar. If you cannot physically see the switch on the door pillar, then operate the latch with a suitable tool while the door is open, and then over-travel the latch to see if you can change the behavior of the window and dome light -- the dome light has a delay, but the window operates immediately. If you can manipulate the door latch to change the behavior of the window, then the switch is in the latch. You have to remove the door panel and take the latch out from the inside of the door. |
