HELP: Power Window gremiln

Hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. was installing some lights and tapped in the harness from inside the driver side door. didn't work so I took it off again. put everything back and found these out... both rear windows are not responsive from the master switch. rear driver can be opened and closed from the rear driver door. rear passenger window not operational from the master or the door itself. rear sliding window not working as well. checked out all the fuses from the under the driver cubby. nothing was blown. swapped out the master power window switch and didn't change any. swapped out the rear window switches and the same scenario is happening. so I'm pretty sure it's not the switches. there is power from the both rear doors as the window switches are lit up when I turn on the parking lights. checked out the harness on the driver door and nothing seem to be cut or spliced.

are there any other fuses that I can check other than the one under the driver cubby? or can someone point me in the right direction on how to diagnose it?

thanks in advance!

 

Did you have the battery disconnected? Sometimes you have to go through a procedure in the Owners Manual to reset the windows and sunroof.

 

Did you mess with the electronics with the battery connected ? If so you might have shortened or pulled to much current off the wire and fried it somewhere.Always a good habit to check what the load is off the wire your connecting to and checking what the load is off the item .

 

yeah I did disconnect the battery. let me go look how to reset it. hope that works. thanks for your input!

 

I'm hoping that's not the case. lesson learned for me!

 

How did you tap power originally? Did you use a vampire splice mid-wire, or take it from a plug or switch?

 

I used the vampire splice. I checked the wire when I took it out and everything looks fine. could it be that some of the strands broke off?

 

Might be worth investigating further. Either a multimeter at the downstream terminal or a jumper wire if you can access both ends. Just to know for sure and eliminate the possibility of a broken current along the wires you tapped.

 

Okay. I’ll go ahead and try that. Thanks for your input!
