I don't think the power windows have a relay, just a fused wire to the switches. Brown wires don't need to be fixed since they ground anyway. Several ways to fix other wires, once the short is fixed. You could wrap w/ self-fusing silicone tape (Ace Hardware, ...), regular electrical tape (worse), or remove pin from connector and slide PVC tube or heat-shrink tube over the wire. Of course you could replace the wire. For small areas of exposed copper, can use "liquid electrical tape".

Hmm. If the windows don't have a relay, I wonder what I was removing. It is behind the cluster right in the middle, small cube relay. Part number is 001-542-0219

Check the wiring diagram for your year. I kind of recall a relay-looking thing there (near brown wire gnd pt behind cluster) in my 1984 & 85 300D. Might be the turn signal flasher.

Your Flasher is between the Ash Tray and Shifter under the wood Shroud.

So I'm confused because I have seen threads here discussing replacing the power window relay when they stop working. Not sure what else to do. But I guess I have bigger problems now anyhow.

If you will post those thread url's...
maybe we can figure out what is happening...

car was towed home where it will sit for a little while until i have time to deal

here's that thread. someone named mattc said he fixed his power windows by replacing that relay

300D power windows won't go down!

Okay I'm back in town and it's time to deal. Looks like I might have dodged a bullet with the wiring. Seems like it really just fried the ground wire from this relay.

Now there seem to be 4 wires for this 5-pin relay. Anyone know how I can figure out which ones go where?

Here are a few images from different threads saying that this relay is for power windows.

Yes, there is a power window relay. Its coil is fed by fuse 12 (hot in run or start). Unfused power goes to the relay contacts which powers Fuses a, b.

Is there a way to tell which color wire goes where? I've been searching for a wiring diagram but haven't had muck luck. I don't think I'd understand it even if I found one!

There's a red wire, a black wire, a ground wire and a red with blue stripe. Any advice appreciated!

Once I get this sorted, I think I'll be ready to start the car and move on to the vacuum problems...

okay, so if i can trace the wires to the fuses, find which is 12 and 2, then that should help me figure out which contacts on the relay i should attach them to?
