Rear Passenger Window; Is there a fuse?

Post by daddyman »

Greetings,

So this morning while driving, one of my dogs tried to kill himself by putting his head out the rear passenger window and stepping on the switch.

Brilliant.

Apparently the "lockout" feature should be used for dogs also. Lesson noted.

The window is now not going back up, and is also not making any noise as if the regulator were trying to work.

Is there a fuse for the window which blows when it encounters something, like a dog or small child, preventing it from rolling up.

Or do I need to replace the regulator, which also blows.

Thanks!

So no window movement regardless of which switch you use to move it? No noises or anything?

No window movement either up nor down. Checked using the driver's switch and the rear passenger door switch with lockout on and off. No motor sounds at all.

The other three windows all work correctly.

Is there any kind of voltage drop at all? And how long was the dog on the button? Did he actually shut it on himself, and if so, how long was he stuck in there, and how was he freed?

So you don't hear the relay click behind the door panel of the affected window?

Not sure how long he was stepping on the switch. My wife looking back when she heard him thrashing and whining.
He was stuck, but luckily managed to do it on some "hard parts" so she was able to turn him to sneak his head out.

I do not know on the voltage drop.

No relay click and no regulator motor sounds from the door.
