Why don't windows work?

There are three fuses that can be attributed to the power window system; Door Fuse (25A), Power Fuse (30A) and Gauge Fuse (10A) which are all located in the instrument panel junction block behind the dashboard, just to the left of the steering column. If one of the fuses has blown, there could be a short-to-ground condition in the wiring circuit between the fuse and the load, or the load itself could be pulling too much amperage for one reason or another. I think it's unlikely that a fuse has blown in this situation though as the power door lock system utilizes the same 3 fuses and per the original post, the system is still functioning correctly. In that case, the most likely culprit is the power window master switch. The power window master switch simply gets used more than the other window switches and therefore tends to wear out before the others. Before performing circuit testing to confirm (or replacing the switch), make sure the child lock switch within the master switch didn't accidentally get switched to the ON position. You can read more about symptoms of a bad or failing power window switch here: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-power-window-switch

The following components are used to control the power windows:
• Driver door module (DDM)
• Passenger front door module (PDM)
• LH rear door module (LRDM)
• RH rear door module (RRDM)
• Driver door switch assembly (DDSA)
• RH front power window switch
• LH rear power window switch
• RH rear power window switch
• LH front power window motor
• RH front power window motor
• LH rear power window motor
• RH rear power window motor
• Class 2 serial data link
• DR MOD PWR C/B 30 Amp circuit breaker
• DRIVER DR MOD 10 Amp fuse -- DDSA and DDM logic, DDM internal driver operation.
• PSGR DR MOD 10 Amp fuse -- PDM logic and internal driver operation.
• REAR DR MOD 15 Amp fuse -- LRDM and RRDM logic and internal driver operation

Have you actually checked for power at the driver's master switch?
I don't think there would be a window relay, there is probably a power window circuit breaker in the instrument panel fuse box.
If no windows work, pull the master switch out and check for one hot wire with key on. If none, check for broken wires in driver's door opening. Your ground for the windows will be in that group of wires too. Both must work for windows to operate. If you have power and good ground at the master switch, and no windows work, probably a bad master switch.

please try resetting the ECU once by removing the battery and connecting after few minutes.

Chryslers window regulators are chincy but if none of them work check fuses and switches.it might be the switch on drivers door ...called master switch if thats bad none of the windows will work

Hello. Welcome to FixYa.

The most common cause of this issue is a bad master switch on the driver side door. Another common cause is a broken power wire that powers up the master switch. CHeck the wries on the connector of the master switch with a 12 vlt DC testlight, with the key on. If you have power, the wire is good, and the switch is probably bad.

First I would check the fuses if there good then make sure you have power to the switch.You can check that with a test light on the main connector to the door.If you have power to the switch Then make sure that the master lock for the windows is off.Then if that doesn't work check for continuity across the switch.The main thing I would check are the fuses and the master window lock first if none of the windows are working.

start by checking fuses, then relays. if the main switch goes on driver's door goes out then none of them will work.... i would recommend a new switch not a used one.

Hi there,

Well if none of your windows work more then likely it is a master window switch witch would be the one big switch on your drivers front door. Have you tried using the switch on the other doors to see if any of the windows work? If none of the switches work try checking the fuses and relay's first. A fuse or relay is easy and less then $20 for the part and you can do yourself just read the fuse box to locate the part. If you need a master switch call a junk yard the switch can be less then $80 there just pay someone a few dollars to install it. If the problem only related to single window then it sounds like the window motors are bad. On average, the price of a reconditioned window motor (check O'reilly or Autozone) installed on that car is about $150-$200 per window. Please post comments if you need more help or information.........

Good Luck!!

Thanks

yep master switch panel is shot!
