While changing out the LED's in my window switches, upon reconecting them back into the car, two of them seem to have lost all power. Could it be that one of the wires got disconnected from the back? If so is there any easy fix. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx.

probably blew the fuse when changing it, did you disconnect the battery first???? sometimes this happens when changing bulbs especially when its on... like when the doors open???

I had a similar problem, if you open the door all the way does it all work, and if you shut the door does it work. If it doesn't work either way, then, It might be the fuse if the window stopped working. As if the window lights and switches stop working when you open or shut the door (not both) then try tightning the rubber piece that the wires feed through to the door, this could cause a problem as it did on my car. It just loosened after a while and caused stuff to stop working.

the back windows roll up if you are using the front switch, but not the back switch, and niether of the back switches light up at all. If this is a fuse, which fuse would it be?

AFAIK all the Windows run off the same fuse

and the Lighting is on a different Circuit all together

so Check the Rear switchs and make sure they are connected properly and you havn't damaged them changing the lights in them

then check the master Switch as this supplies the current to the rear windows you may have knocked a conection inside the switch or managed to get the child lock switck stuck in the on position (meaning the rear windows would be disabled)

Yeah, the master switch is a little tricky. I have the same problem, but I know it's the master switch. One day when I'm not so lazy I'm gonna fix it, I swear

It sounds like the child saftey switch on the driver window control. When switched on the rear window controls do not function and will not light up. Once the switch is turned off they should light up and work.

I was having trouble with this while I was re-attaching the driver window control. Does anyone have a pic so I can see exactly how those two pieces meet up?
