Power window problem 81 911 sc RS door panel install
 

When I was changing the driver side door panel I made a mistake hooking up my window switches. When I tried to use the switch I heard a pop. I blew the 25A power window fuse, oops. I replaced the fuse and I want to sort out my window switch but it doesn't have power. What should my next move be? Relay? Thanks.

I did the same thing, so don't feel bad

Search for window switch wiring there is a post out there that has the correct wiring info in a couple of pics

Thats how I fixed mine

the wire colors were a little off for my 83 but by process of elimination of the ones that are correct you can figure it out

Awesome! Thanks for your help ThomO.

yeah deffinatly dont feel bad. i did the same thing....4 times. i guess this now give me a reason to update to the newer style fuses.

I still cannot get power to the switches. Would the next step be to replace the relay? Thanks.

I wouldnt think a relay would be hold you up in this case. are you sure you got the connections correct and replace with the correct size fuse?

You probably need new switches now.

I think I have the wires correct but im not 100%. I will try to rearrange them and see if it makes a difference. If they are wrong, it should just blow the fuse again right? Yes, I did replace the blown fuse with the right fuse and I got a couple extra just in case it happened again. Thanks.

yeah itll pop them again if you have them incorrect. this is per the bently manual.

Winered : went through same problem as you (83sc) pass side switch, blowing fuses....finally popped off pass switch on drivers side looked at connections and repeated on other switch, no problems!!
