    Out of nowhere the power window control from the driver's side door stopped working. All of the other window controls work for their individual windows. It's just the driver side control of all of them that doesn't work. I was able to fix the issue by replacing the D FR P/W 30A fuse. But this fuse then blows within a day of using it. The fuse does not seem to blow immediately, but after a few uses. I haven't done any electric work recently.

    What's my best bet to try to fix this?

    Does it blow only when you try to move the window or when you open/close the door?

    It could be the switch itself, or the brushes in the window motor could be wore out hopefully not the wires .
    another possibility could be a problem with the window crank mechanism overloading the motor

    If it blows when for an intermittent short circuit.opening and closing the door check the wires that go between the door and the body inside the rubber tube.

    Pull the driver's side control and take closer look at connector and mating side of switch...
