Re: Power Windows stuck down - any way to raise them?


 

Update: we used the old fashioned way of fixing the problem (duct-tape) and made the 1000 mile drive home. Actually, it wasn't duct tape, but rather blue painters tape and Reflectix - fortunately the windows were only 6 inches down so the gap wasn't that hard to keep sealed, but ugh.

Now I'm home, and want to tackle the issue. So far the advice has been:

1. Broken wiring in door harness. In fact I've looked at the wires, and it looks like they've already been repaired once. However, no manner of wiggling the wires or opening/closing either door will get any results. Also I have a question: is it possible for BOTH windows and the power mirrors to go out from a single broken wire? Reading prior messages it sounds like that's more likely due to an upstream failure, and that a broken wire would only affect a single door/window.

2. Fuse/relays: is there any relay or fuse that deals with the power windows?

Here's a picture of my relay panel:
The relay labeled "53", top row, third from the left has what looks like an auto-reset circuit breaker above it (the green metal can). The owners manual mentions an auto-reset breaker for power windows. Could that be it?

3. Power Window Module : is this a separate device? Where is it physically located?

4. Documentation: Obviously, I have no Bentley and the few things I can find online are not very helpful. I'm willing to purchase a Bentley if it has good info - can anyone check to see if the Bentley has a good description of ALL the relays & fuses in a 2000 eurovan camper, and says something specific about power windows?

Thanks!

My 2000 EVC had the power windows go out and are stuck about 6 inches
down, and naturally it's 100F weather. My current goal is just to make
it home, at which point I'll debug the electrical issues.

Is there any way to manually raise the windows by removing the door panels?

thanks!
