Default Power window fuse / circut breaker?

Is there a hidden fuse or circut breaker for the power windows? I just installed a new radio in the car and all of a sudden my passenger side windows wont work. Test light shows I'm getting no power to the switches.

Thanks,

RGG

The window circuit has two breakers on the RH component panel, below the glove box. They're about 1" square and have red/slate wires.

With your test light it's obviously a simple matter to see if they're passing volatge...or simply swap the wires and see if the problem moves to the driver's side windows.

If you have a dead breaker it can be replaced with a more generic type or even a 30 amp fuse. Replacement breakers from Jaguar are stupid-expensive.

Cheers

Thanks Doug! the circut breaker was indeed the culprit. I had a 30 amp fues holder in the shop so I replaced it with that for now. I'll stop by Motorcars ltd when I'm in Houston next week and see if they have a replacement breaker.

Thanks again for the help!
