Just as I said in another thread that there were no problems, one reared its ugly head today.

Power window on the drivers side keeps blowing the 15A fuse for windows and the radio. Passenger's side window works fine. I swapped the window control switches and when swapped, the same thing happens - drivers side switch works with passenger window; passenger side switch on driver's side window blows the fuse.

I'm thinking it's the window motor itself?

(Dry, sunny day no water in the door well).

Any input welcome! Thanks.

SOLVED.

Went back to basics. The blown fuse was 15 amps. After going over the electrics and blowing almost an entire pack of 15 amp fuses I went to the manual. Should be a 25A fuse in there.

Put one in. Works perfectly.

Curious as to how it went this long with a 15A in lieu of a 25A and also why the passenger side window didn't blow it given they are on the same fuse...

Something is not right, and I suspect the motor. You should be able to operate both windows and the radio all at the same time without the fuse blowing. I'll guess your 25A fuse will blow in a day or two.

You were right, the 25 A fuse went. I think I'll have to open up the door and look at the motor. Van is only 3 years old. Strange.
