    Very odd window issue e31

    Passenger side windows wont respond.
    I swapped the rm1, and messed with the relays in the trunk, all fuses good....
    Two issues, when i threw in the new GM, all windows worked, sunroof didnt respond at all. Then the front windows all stopped working. So i swapped rm1. Now drivers front and rear window work fine. Pass is dead fr and rear. Before i swapped the rm1 both rear windows worked fine and both front wouldnt respond. So now im stuck on this issue.

    Ideas? Where to look?

    Also the modules in the door are working properly it seems.

    True, however holdingit in the lock pos, itll roll up drivers front n rear and close the sunroof. The sunroof opens to vent when i turn the key on.

    Hmm. Idea i reckon. But why would the lock still operate the driversside?

    Spent 5 hours today. It was a fuse that tested good... But apparently was not.

    When you disconnect the batteries you have to initiate the windows and the sunroof when you reconnect the batteries again. How you do it I don't remember. Maybe someone can tell us?

    Thankfully I fixed it. It was simply a fuse that appeared good and even tested good with continuity, but wasn't packed somehow still bad. Replaced the fuse works great
