Power windows & A/C blower kaput - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I was going to go on a test drive to see if the installation of a new coil solves my conking out problem. Fired the car up, everything seems normal but the power windows and the blower for the heat/AC suddeny don't wok anymore!

No "check engine" lights. The lights, horn, engine, power door locks work fine.

I've pulled the easy fuses from the main fuse box and they are OK. Also, the 3 on the positive battery post.

With engine running voltage between battery posts is 14 V.

I'll try to work my way through the wiring diagram but if anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful.

Cheers

Well, I found a blown fuse in the driver side kick panel.

I replaced it with another 7.5 fuse (from the radio)

Power windows and AC blower then worked OK.

Started the car up - now they don't work - the fuse has blown again!

Any ideas, anyone?

OK, took a while but it's solved.
Both times the fuse blew when I started the engine and backed out the driveway.
Turns out I had stuffed the trunk with recyclables and somehow shorted the back-up lights.
