Three of the main 30 amp fuses that control the powered accessories including power windows, power seats, and power windows are not getting the voltage they need to function. I have to lay a wire across all the terminals to draw enough power to adjust seats and mirrors and stuff like that. I was wondering if anyone had any experience and could help diagnose this issue.

Hello Kaine,

I would start by testing for power with a test light at one or more of the relays in the panel, next check the ignition switch feed because they ha problems with those in this car, here is a diagram of the fuse panel. Here is a diagram and some articles to get you started,

Let me know what you find

Best, Ken
