    power windows no workie?

    I just got my interior back in, and retro fitted heated seat wiring. After it was all back together the windows dont work, or even light up for that matter. Havent had a chance to really explore yet ( got dark and i was hungry) but I think everything was plugged back in correctly. Heated seat switches appear to work. Fuse 17 is in tact. Any ideas? Thanks.

    EDIT: I am aware of the breaker

        power to the breaker?

        also, swap fuses with a known good one - I know, but sometimes a fuse you swear looks good isn't. Fuse quality has gone to crap in the last 5 years it seems.

        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

              Check the "big black relay" in the fuse box. Had a friends quit working and that was the problem

                The wiper relay? I'd like to hear how that kept the car from running.

                  Since you have a 91, it's probably located above the passenger side window switch. First make sure it's not pressed down, and if not, take the switch out to see if both leads are connected (correctly).

                    I thought that was for wipers and windows. Hmmm guess not there should be a relay in the fuse box for the windows.

                      Power windows and sunroof should be on fuse #17. 30Amp.

                      No relay for them though. http://e30m3performance.com/maintena...e_box/pg-2.gif
