[QUOTE="Modidy, post: 847425, member: 14431"] Electrical problems can be a nightmare, but if you know how to read a wiring diagram, it can be simplified. You should be able to google it for those circuits. Then you will need a multimeter to check for grounded wire's, or open circuit in your wiring. For the window motor, you need to find out if you are getting power to the switch. If yes, then you need to check for power from the switch to the motor. If yes, then check your ground from motor. I imagine you have power to the switch if the passenger side is working from the driver side door. If not, check the wire's that go from the door to the body in the hinge area. Often time's wires break in that area, or are chaffed and grounding out. As for your illumination, you need to see what else is on that circuit. So once again, you will need a wire diagram. Unplug the other items on that circuit one at a time until the fuse doen't blow. It could be your headlight switch, or the wiring behind the radio or possibly the radio. Most commonly I have found issue's with illumination to be caused by a bad headlight switch, and in some cases the illumination wire behind the radio hooked up incorrectly to the replacement radio, or left open and grounding out to the radio, or dash mounting. Good luck, hope this was somewhat helpful advice. [/QUOTE]
