P/wdw fuse blown - 1997 Hyundai Elantra

There is PWR WDW circuit breaker 30 amp in the under hood fuse / relay box . This powers the windows through the PWR /WDW relay in same under hood fuse / relay box . I would think the relay would be bad before the circuit breaker . Hope this helps you out , good luck

Check all possible fuses first a fuse is cheaper then a window motor

You do not have enough information to answer. What year and type of car. Call your local automative dealer and ask for parts department. Tell them what you have and they should be able to fix you up.

Did you check for battery power at the fuses? Or did you just give them the "eyeball test"? I am willing to bet that there is no power to the following fuses" "HDLT DLY RLY", "ANT", "PWR/ACC", and "HTD WDW". If this is the case, you have a burned fuse link. It will be the green one. It is located at the starter relay.

CAUTION: Fusible links must be replaced only with fusible link wire. Splicing standard wire in place of a fusible link will create a serious fire hazzard. Replacing any circuit protection device (ie. fuse, fuse link, circuit breaker) without finding the cause of the electrical overload that destroyed the circuit protection device will only result in a repeat repair. Never replace any circuit protection device with another device that has a higher amperage rating than the original equipment circuit protection device. This can result in fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.

second hand dealer jargon for the extras on the vehicle

You can check the fuse panel for a blown fuse. Replace blown fuses with the recommended fuse only. Its not safe for your car or you, to switch them to a different size. Be sure that your ignition is in the off position and take the keys out before you change any fuses. If its not a blown fuse, you could have a blown fan motor or faulty wiring but I'd start with the fuse box.

More then likely it is in your fuse relay center in your engine compartment; replace the "pwr lck/ wdw" component.

Section 13-11: Anti-Theft System, Active 1998 Villager Workshop Manual DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Inspection and Verification

1. Verify customer concern by operating the anti-theft alarm system.
   

1. Visually inspect the following components of the anti-theft alarm system:
   
   
   VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical
   • Door lock key cylinders binding
   • Loose hood anti-theft switch
   • Blown fuse(s):
     • 7.5A S.E.C.
     • 10A ELECTRON (IGN)
     • 30A PWR WDW
     • 15A HORN
   • Damaged circuit breaker #1
   • Damaged or corroded anti-theft relay
   • Broken or loose wiring
   • Damaged,loose or misaligned hood anti-theft switch
   • Damaged or loose luggage compartment lamp switch
   • Damaged or loose door courtesy lamp switch(es)
   
   

1. Verify that the following systems are operating correctly:
   
   • Horn.
   • Headlamps.
   • Instrument cluster and panel lighting.
   • Power door locks.
   • Keyless entry remote transmitter (if equipped).
   If any systems are not functioning properly, refer to the appropriate section of this service manual for diagnosis and testing before proceeding.
   

1. Check wiring harness for obvious signs of looseness, corrosion, or damage.
   

1. If the fault is not visually evident, determine the symptom and proceed to the Symptom Chart.
   

you have fuses there and in the van by the drivers side instrument panel.

here's how to change,
Fuse — Main Fuse Junction Panel NOTE: The MAIN and ALT fuses are high ampere cartridges that are held in place by screws, which must be removed in order to replace the cartridge. For removal of the MAIN or ALT fuse, refer to the procedure in this section. Always replace a blown fuse with a new one having the same amperage rating.

Removal

1. Remove the appropriate fuse panel cover (14A003).
   

1. Pull the fuse straight up from the fuse junction panel (14A068). If the fuse is a cartridge-type, carefully pry the clip, then pull the fuse straight up.
   

I would also check relays, including inhibtor relay. relas have a relese tab.

the relay is plobable bad. try testing or replacing the relay. it is located in the fuse box under the hood. it should be labeled PWR WDW
