Oh Noes! Window Gremlins. Help ASAP - D@wson - 03-06-2012
So get up this morning and its chucking it down get in the car with the mrs ready to take her to work. Turn the ignition on and her window starts to wind itself down ever so slowly snails pace. So I think shit press the switches on my side to stop it and nothing. So I press my switch and mine moves about an inch and stops also at a snails pace. So I think meh I'll drive her to work anyway and just change the fuse. So she gets soaked with rain and I get home and change the fuse. Change the fuse and BAM blows again. So I have cling filmed the passenger side door like a boss and hopefully you guys can help. This has happened over night as they were fine last night at 7pm. I have done the drives side loom repair but it has been fine for months.

With the rain, at a guess wiring has got a bit damp? Pull the window switches out and give them a good bloody cleanup, that would be my first port of call.
Could be something in there causing it to short out

Sounds like a short circuit somewhere
As for where I dont know but they're renown to go in the door loom as its moving every time you open the door

Managed to get it back up made an earth and a live from the back of the stereo and connected it to the motor and wound it fully up. Its defiantly a wiring issue as the fuse is going so its shorting somewhere. It is effecting both sides so I will crack both looms off and have a look.
I have checked the switches and I think its unlikely I will have 4 broke alternative switches. 
I'll keep you up dated.Thanks for the suggestions
