3 of our windows do not work. Can only role them down from driver's side control panel. Do you think it could be a fuse? They use to light up but now do not.

Hi,

There is only one circuit breaker that powers all the windows. So, if one works, that isn't the issue.

First, I attached the wiring schematic below related to the power windows for your review. Note that the main driver's door switch receives power from the circuit breaker and from there, it is distributed to each of the switches at the other doors.

If it is all windows but the driver's side, first inspect the connector at the main switch for corrosion, damage, and make sure it is tight.

If that appears good, then chances are the main switch is bad. However, before replacing the switch, locate the yellow lock-out switch wire and see if there is power to it. If there is none when the windows are unlocked, chances are there is an internal issue within the main switch and it will need to be replaced.

I highlighted the wire I'm referring to below. That supplies power to each of the other window switches and motors. Note that I had to cut the schematic in half to make it readable for you. However, I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
