the problem is probably a short created when you hit the switch. Check ALL wire connections at ALL points. Make usre nothing is touching, if you can, trace every wire and make sure nothing is pinched and causing a short somewhere.

Does it do it when you try to roll down the passenger side window as well?

What fuse is blowing? You didn't add a new fuse when you installed the kit?

Did you have to manually run any wires through your doors?

Does it blow fuses for BOTH the passenger side and drivers side?

Open the doors and try again

Is the fuse after the tap (on the aftermarket wiring), or before (touching stock wiring)
