window fuse keeps blowing! 4 fuses in less than 5 miutes
(1990 190E 2.6) Irecently removed my center console to replace the light bulb and also noticed one of my window switches were broken (right rear passenger side). I took out the switch and opened it up (I have no idea why) to look at the parts inside. I then decided to open up one that was an original part. Well I put everything back together and reconnected the window switches. I drove for a while and the windows were fine. When I came back home and rolled the windows up the front passenger side would not work. I then took the console out again and checked to make sure they were connected and they were so then I checked the fuse and both window fuses were blown. I replaced them and tried again and pop! They blew again. I swapped the front passenger switch to the rear passenger switch and nothing. I then decided that the broken switch was the culprit and disconnected it and tried to roll the window up from the door, but nothing. I reconnected the front passenger switch to its orignal spot and tried to roll it down and the damn switch shorted out and started smoking. Im now confused as to what the problem could be. I just bought another pack of fuses and ordered to window switches. They should be here on friday. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
