Power Windows Gremlin…..WTF…..

Do you have wiring diagrams for your car? I think you need to start moving "upstream" with a good multi-meter. If you drop power at fuse 17 (on my 85 diagram), then you need to go upstream from the K5 unloader relay. Connector (c114) 114, do you loose power there? And work your way to the ignition switch. Sorry, no easy answer. Good luck!

Thank you for the advice. A lot going on this weekend. But I will get on it starting Tuesday.

Ok fam here’s an update, finally got my E46 running very well so I had time to spend on the E30. Windows are working as they should. It appears to be a short to ground. So power was tapped from windshield wipers. I have pulled knee bolster, ashtray console, glove box, etc to replace old tan carpet to oe charcoal carpet. As soon as I can I will correct short now that I know where it is. My plan is to go from full tan to full black interior including black roof lining. Thanks fam for the moral support. Be blessed.

Glad you got it figured out!

I had a bad power window lock (circuit breaker)

I ended up replacing the breaker: 61311369375 and all the switches:61311381205

Where did you get the circuit breaker? Everywhere I look it's NLA or backordered.
