UPDATE: Power window 30 amp fuse blowing 900 1994

Hi Randy,

It logged me in with an error code? An adventure to make a post.

Since the other windows are OK, you should find your short to ground between
the drivers window switch and the motor. You can unplug the window regulator
and check each side of that connector to ground to help find the culprit.

Don't use high beams until you fix the bad possibly arcing connection!
Fuse 17 is the Left high beam and indicator. Seeing any discoloration at the
fuse or relay sockets is a tip-off to check for loose female spade pins
or loose crimps from the pin to the wire. when they get loose they can start arcing and do a mess of damage. Cut an old ATC fuse in half and use it to insure the fuse spade leg is snug in the socket. You can repair or replace pins. Get new ones from www.davebarton.com
Check relay socket pins too of course, use a 1/4" male spade lug. They don't get tighter with repeated extractions and re-insertions.

Dunno about loose Bulb out sensor pins, they are different but also subject to corrosion. If a bulb out sensor pin is loose, same story you get a toaster in a high current circuit. Dave Barton probably has new pins. Using Penetrox-A on all of your socket pins is a good idea to deter corrosion and the resultant headaches.

Hope you recover quickly, Bill
