Title: Automotive/Electronic Q?
Post by: Eyeball Chambers on April 27, 2009, 05:20:31 PM: The fuse for the front window circuit on my car blows immediately when I turn the car "On".

I took the "Window Control Module" out and popped the cover off of it. I found one diode that looks like it blew? Could that be causing the front window circuit fuse to blow?

??? ???

It's a 97 C230 Mercedes

Yeah, I'm using the correct size fuse. The diode I was talking about is also completely blown/broken in half. :(

OK cool thanks, I didn't know if the blown diode could be what was causing this or not. I'll see if I can get a replacement to solder in, and if not I'll buy the $100+ dollar Window Control Module. :(

Good idea! Will a ball-peen hammer work?

I'll report back and tell you if it worked.

I use a rrubber mallet to whack the starter on the underside of my 1970 302 boss mustang hardtop....starts it well, especially when it is cold out

I could easily see him in a short time walking the streets of NYC and begging/ pandering

Post by: Kegdrainer on April 27, 2009, 05:45:29 PM: i thought those had a separate door control module, sounds like you have it with the faulty diode though.
