Good summary jay_bob.

I agree that Otter should not be jumpered unless another circuit breaker is added to circuit (preferably that will self reset). I suspect that even if fuse is fast enough to provide protection, it would blow and may have to be replaced quite often. There is no other type of limit switch in the circuit. In a separate thread re W124, Chris is going to see if those Otters can be purchased.

Interesting that on cars (at least ones I own!), fuses are still used. On boats, they have gone almost entirely to circuit breaker-switches that can easily be reset. Same in our homes. Probably a cost thing? Or perhaps space?

ADDED: It seems replacement circuit breakers can be obtained. Perhaps the Type IIs might work on the window motors. Opps forgot to add link and now I have lost it! But Digikey have auto-reset breakers that might work for anyone wanting to try and repair their window motor. http://www.digikey.com/us/en/ph/ETA/1610.html
