POWER WINDOW DEVICE

A power window device includes a control unit configured to monitor a first potential at one end of a first switch circuit including a window closing switch and a second potential at one end of a second switch circuit including a window opening switch, and determine that submersion has occurred when the first or second potential is in a first or second submersion potential range. During a normal time, the control unit outputs a window closing command signal when the first potential is a potential at a time of the window closing switch being operated, and outputs a window opening command signal when the second potential is a potential at a time of the window opening switch being operated. At a time of submersion, the control unit does not output the window closing command signal, and outputs the window opening command signal.
