Default Driver side windows and sunroof not working

Well my drivers front and rear window and also my sunroof has stopped working. I found a blowm fuse on the passage side under the glove box I believe it was 3A fuse. I replaced it and all the windows started to work again even the sunroof. Shut the car off and then a couple hours later had to go somewhere. I started the car and tried to put the windows down and the driver side windows and the sunroof will not work again. So I thought maybe it blew the fuse again so I check the fuse. Fuse is fine and every other fuse in the car is fine. Any ideas

Roll that fuse in its holder and see if that makes any difference. Sometimes that action gives a newer, more solid connection. Can't hurt to try anyway.

Probably a blown circuit breaker.

This should help

Thanks Doug.... Great info to have on hand. I have been collecting these miscellaneous valuable bits of info for years now, and this is a good addition.
All of it in a folder on an external hard drive.

Two added ideas:


1. Ditto on LnrB's idea. I call it the finger roll. Works!!!


2. By sheer coincidence, the driver window and sun roof
rocker switches have corroded to the point of non continuity.
Fiddly, but simple to remove them, open them up and clean
the teeny contacts.


The latter just a Jaguar thing...


A small Pozi drive, a blade drive and two pans are all the tools one
needs to do it... Been there, more than once!!!

Well thanks for the info it was the circuit breaker. The contacts were very corroded and I think this maybe caused the current to ramp up and blew the breaker. I just took a spade style fuse 10amp and just plugged it onto the wires for the breaker. Everything works fine now.
