Diagnostic Aids
If the POWER WINDOWS fuse is open, the cause could be one of the following:
| • | A short to ground in the accessory voltage circuit. |
| • | A short to ground in one of the power window signal or power window motor control circuits. This would open the POWER WINDOWS fuse with a switch activation. |
