Is there a fuse for the power windows?
Problem: All Power Windows Do Not Work Check the fuse first. Locate the numbered fuse that corresponds to the power window circuit, then pull out the fuse to see if the wire inside has burned through or is broken. If the fuse has blown, there is either a short or an overload in the power window circuit.
What to do if power windows stopped working?
Turn the key to the Run position, but don’t start the car. If the fuse is blown, pushing a window button will do nothing at all: The motor won’t groan and the glass won’t quiver. If the fuse is good and you can hear the motor, or the glass acts like it wants to move, then you’ve got some sort of mechanical problem.
