Subject:Re: Somewhat urgent help requested

Finally had some sunny moments to mess with this issue further. It appears
to have been switches. All were sticky with harden grease. I cleaned with
contact cleaner, determined on switch to be altogether faulty, replaced it
and now am fully functional. Sort of clever mechanisms, I found upon
disassembling one.

I still don't know which fuse this power window circuit is on. Can anyone
help with that?

cheers,
m
