I found the relay and tested it and sure enough, it was blown. I also attached a 30 amp fuse and both windows worked... Wow. I feel a little better and will order a relay from Terry's jag. Could I keep the 30 amp fuse in place until the relay shows up in the mail?


Doug and Allan, thank you for all your help.

And here you were just sayin' yer not very good at electrical repairs!

I think you meat to say 'circuit breaker' instead of 'relay', though

Yup.

In fact I've worked a couple Jags were the owners ditched the circuits breakers forever and use fuses instead.

Or, if you're not concerned about authenticity you can buy a generic circuit breaker from your local parts store of $5-8 or so. It'll plug-in just like the fuse

Cheers

Is the 30 amp fuse the one to use or maybe a 20 amp? I do plan on ordering the correct part from Terry's. Thanks again.

I think I will use the 20 amp fuse until the correct part shows up from Terry's. Thanks.

I also fell victim to the both windows not operating after changing out the ski slope 😅 I am hoping the information in this thread can help me solve the issue. Can you please the yellow square in the photo is the circuit breaker? I am also not too sauvy and a beginner with electrical system.

Thank you in advance!
