My 1999 Sebring Conv. has fuses that control gauges, AC, pwr.windows & door locks that go out. After it sits for a short time they work fine. This has happened x2. Any ideas? Marilyn

Power windows don't use fuse's , has circuit breakers
• PWR WDO CB 25A (fuse block) (System power for left and right windows 2-door vehicles. System power for LF and LR windows 4-door vehicles)
• PWR WDO CB 25A (IP wiring harness junction block) (System power for RF and RR windows 4-door vehicles)

Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• The driver door module (DDM)
• The passenger door module (PDM)
• The body control module (BCM)
• The driver information center (DIC)
• The rear door lock switch
• The door lock relay
• The door unlock relay
• The liftgate lock relay--utility vehicles with liftgate only
• The reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors and liftgate
• LOCKS 20A fuse (rear lock/unlock relay supply voltage)
• ECC 10A fuse (liftgate lock relay supply voltage)

look below for above listed componet's , pull those fuse's one at a time till arc stop's ,then you found your problem circuit . Do you know where the I/P fuse box is ?

Hey Victor , check PWR WINDOWS PWR SUNROOF circuit breaker in Fuse Block
Right side of the IP, in the right front door opening
You don't have lock out on ?
you

Side mirrors may be a wiring issue possibly near the driver door area where it would come from the door into the A pillar to under the dash,sometimes from age and door operation the wires break inside that harness.AC issue would need to be checked by a certified AC tech to check for leaks and operation,could also be a electrical issue or low on freon from a leak.

the fuse box under the dash is also a body control module a computer have it checked

it is your body control module. . did not mix it up with the computer. the bcm runs every thing inside the car locks/radio/mirrors /etc.. in your car it is part of the fuse box under the dash

If you have problem with your cars or trucks CALL - 954-727-7328

The easy part of this problem is knowing what it is, the difficult part is finding where it's shorting out. With the meters of wire and harness it would be discouraging thinking about it. Knowing VW took a lot of time engineering to avoid this simple problems, there are conditions that couldn't prevent this.

First off, have you recently installed an aftermarket part that hooks up to the wiring system e.g. radio, gauges, gps or other electronic accessory? Something added that needed a harness moved to make it fit or needed splicing a wire to power it up?

There are times when doing electrical work, the person doing it doesn't realize while stripping insulation from new wire that a strand of wire fell in a switch, fuse terminal causing a short in it's circuit.
You'd need to clean the fuse area with a clean paint brush to dust off any metal debris. Another way is by simply using a digital VOM with continuity tone to single out which component is causing it to blow the fuse.

Another suggestion is use a VAG 1552 scan tool or equivalent. This will also help pinpoint which component to look at and narrow the search area.

If you're a DIY kind of person and want to know how your vehicle works, wanting to get a little more involved. You'll need a Windows based laptop and purchase a ROSS-Tech software by clicking on the address.

check the control on the door some times is loos also the fuse on that door.

when changing your battery your radio will go into lock mode you need the code to unlock it
