    window switch problems

    hey guys i recently started doing some wiring cleanup behind my dash.

    i deleted this aftermarket security system the previous owner had installed, it had all sorts of wiring going everywhere and made me feel a bit uneasy. i reconnected any wire that were spliced back together

    i also removed the airbag system & cruise control.

    after i was done i went to put the windows down and... nothing

    im assuming either i accidentally pulled out a wrong wire but have no clue to where to look.

    i guess im asking where could there have ben a wire and what would it look like

    There is a circuit breaker next to the shift knob on the right side of the center console. Make sure that breaker is closed.

    Also check your window fuses with a test light to ensure they are good.

      Replaced the fuse, checked the breaker, still nothing. Could it be the actual breaker switch itself? I'm gunna swap the breaker from my other e30 and see if that works

          is there one fuse per window or separate for each?
