    Power Windows issue

    So yesterday I notice that my power window is not working. I checked and turns out all 4 windows switches are not working. I checked fuse box and fuse 17 looks good. I also did not lose any other power inside the cabin (ie cigar lighter, radio, heat seat, etc.)

    Besides Power breaker switch, what else could went wrong? Thanks!

    Swap the fuse out for another. Wiggle the breaker. If those don’t work, check the wiring to the breaker.

      Sounds like the breaker, more likely than anything else. After checking the fuse (#17), unplug the breaker and check for continuity between the two terminals on the back of the breaker, or jump the plugs on the wires, turn the key to the accessory position, and try the windows. You can also check voltage between the wires going to the breaker: unplug the breaker, turn the key to the accessory position, and check voltage between the two breaker wires, should be 12V.

      Do you have a power sunroof? If so, does it work? It's also on fuse 17, so that could help isolate power in that circuit as the issue.
