i gotta problem with my front passenger window. i put in a new fuse and put the key in the ignition without touching any switches the fuse blows every time. do i need a new window motor or is something wrong with the circuit board???

So, when the key is turned to II position is when the fuse blows ??

I would try a new fuse with the master (drivers) switch unplugged and see if the fuse blows.

u mean "still blows the fuse" lol

also check your witches arnt stuck in the up position. mine sometimes stick and after a few miles will blow the fuse. yours sound like it before the switches though.

sedan or coupe?

EDIT oh also check the hose thing that goes between the chassis and the door. the wores could have frayed and are now touching.

its a SEDAN. thx for all the help guys im gonna go try everything n see what happens

i pulled out the master switch, put a new fuse in and reconnected the master switch still the fuse blows... But now the passenger side fuse doesnt blow anymore. The driver's side blows and the rear driver side doesnt go down is there a short or do i need to go buy a new master switch?!?!

There was a bulletin for the master switches giving problems on the sedans (not sure if blowing fuses was listed)

Someone stated they could see a burnt area or discoloration area on their defective switch.


The bulletin is attached.

yeah it burns and you can take it apart and clean the area with qtip and alcohol. it works for a while but eventually starts to come back and cause problems.

i found the link very helpful.i put in my brother's master switch to make sure it wasnt some other problem and his master switch works. which means i need a new one. thanks a lot

how would you know if this is covered under warranty ? this happened to my car and mine is one of those years

ezone

Your warranty was over when your car hit 3 years or 36,000 miles.

A service bulletin is for information only.
It is not a recall or a warranty extension.
