my windows are stuck open and now i have to park behind my house just for the security of my car. my switch was broken before, for the window, and as i was trying ot fix it, i the little metal pieces that control the window opening and closing made contact and there was a spark and now neither of my windows will go up or down. is there a way i can close them without getting the switches fixed???

 

you most likely blew a fuse, if that's no the problem, you should be able to jumper the switch harness to close them

 

disconnect the battery when you're working with electrical crap...

 

i had the same thing happen to me with the drivers side door. i took out the door panel, removed the power window switch. i then used a speaker wire, +/- and connected to my battery using a jumper cable straight to the power window harness and the windows rolled up, if you switch the -/+, the windows will roll down. good luck

 

Hey something I noticed when I was at the Mazda dealer fetting my seatbelt recall started, there was a recall at some point on the window switches. I know because I saw the report on my car. Anyways just something to look into.

Oh and yes I believe you may have popped a fuse.

 

Fuse... Nothing like working on powered circuts.

 

yeah that thought was kinda running through the back of my mind... fuse. wheres the box located anyway? btw thanks everyone!!

 

Drivers side kick panel........... and I'll answer your next question as well

 

ya if it aint the fuse the process theycallmegarr explained works im doing it right now till we finish wiring it up custom instead of oign and buying new windown switches they to ******* expensive

 

haha right on! i just checked my fuse and it was blown after all. hella blown, theres another one connected to some type of thing at the battery, it was blown also, any one have an idea of what thats for?

 

well, spark didnt do it, wonder what else it could be. :-(

 

*fuse didnt do it =\

 

so i connect the jumper cables to the battery, and then... im not really sure what else to do with the speaker wires after taking out the window switch. anyone with kinda more detailed info on how to do this, im still a nooby and i am kinda(just a bit) worried about getting electrocuted.

 

 

It's only 12 volts!
coffee will wake you up better
