major window problem.. help!

[CROYCE992]

yesterday i was parked outside my gf's place and rolled down the window to yell something to her. i hit the auto switch on the driver's door glass and it went down all the way except for about a centimeter which i didnt even notice at first.

afterwards, i tried rolling it up with no luck. seems like the master control switch failed on me even after starting the car cuz it cant control anything. but not only that, none of the windows can be operated even through their respective door switches.


this is what i think: i either cut something on the way down with the driver's door glass or i blew a fuse. in the second scenario, i think something got caught in there or jammed and when the motor (regulator) tried to take the pane all the way down it drew too much power and blew a fuse. idk where the fuse is tho!! help! i looked behind the coin tray, and the two compartments to the right in the engine bay but dont see anything that would make me think its the windows

what do you guys think? i am planning on taking the interior panel off and investigating but am having the hardest time with the interior door handle cover which is a pain in the a$$. and advice on taking that off? i feel like i am going to break it not counting all the scratches ive made on it all ready from my flathead

I believe the fuse is in the kick panel underneath the driver side or front passenger side. Its like opening a door or something.
It could either be the a blown fuse, the motor is busted, or you pressed the lock button on the master switch. The switches rarely fail.

so today i opened up the interior panel and my dad helped me connect a battery to the regulator and used it roll the window up all the way. turns out the regulator and master control switch is all working and far as i can tell, there are no visible obstructions. fuse?

i am going to look under the kick panel which im assuming is the dead pedal you are talking about? and see if i can find anything today

The fuses are behind the change tray on the lower left of the steering wheel.

eyeball, i looked there first but couldnt find anything based on the sticker there that would refer to the windows... do you know what the specific fuse is called?

I've never had a window "fuse" problem..plenty of regulator replacements tho! This may help??



I looked on my 96, and be damn if I could find a fuse location!
