Working on my stereo install and first thing I did was pull off the driver's side door panel. Took pics along the way so I could make a new "how to" since the original seems to have disappeared... BUT I ran into a snag...

Once the panel was removed, I closed the door to go do the other side and noticed the window did not index back up. Upon further inspection, both the windows and door locks are inoperable. I can't figure it out; All I dd was disconnect the switches (yes, I tried plugging them back in) and pull off the panel; it's very easy to do. So what happened? Obviously a fuse must have gotten blown somehow, but I can't find a bad one anywhere. PLEASE HELP!

*edit*
Nevermind; it was the switch unplugged; must not have plugged it all the way in the first time. Figures that as soon as I out myself as an idiot here, it's start working again.

 

Glad it wasn't brake fluid level

 

lol; me too.

 

It's always the obvious stuff.

 

Not always. That God it was this time, though; didn't need that kind of snag just as I'm getting started with a full audio system install... still took me a half hour to figure it out.

 

anytime you do any kind of electronic install, do yourself a favor and unhook the battery cables.

 

Yeah, I know; I was being lazy. Point taken.

BTW, I'll do that new door panel removal write-up with pics soon. The other "how to's" in this forum have been a great help so far and I've seen alot of people looking for the door panel removal one, which seems to have vanished, so I'll post it up; it's really a much easier process than I thought it would be...

 

One more tip,,,I cant remember where its listed,,but dont forget to roll your windows down before removing the Negative battery terminal, and taking your door apart. You will need the window down to see what clearance you have with the door speaker mag.

 

Ah, good tip; thanks.
