Hi my Tribute is a 01 plate, all the relays and fuses seem fine but the windows , sunroof and mirrors are completely dead, also my fuel dial does not work either!
Any ideas what may be the source of the problem?
Thanks in advance

Check for power & earth at the switches & devices.

 

Is there a common earth somewhere?
There is some form of power in the drivers window control switch as the lock / unlock button works?

 

The main switch gets power from the accessory delay relay and the accessory delay relay gets a ground from the GEM. Power windows/sunroof/mirrors are powered by the accessory delay relay. The door locks are not.

 

I bought a new "accs" relay ( the one in the footwell)today but still nothing.... Saying that, I haven't a clue what I'm doing!
I appreciate the help, any other ideas what I can do?

 

The accessory delay relay is #2 in the central junction box. The problem is usually the ADR but could be the GEM or wiring. If the relay and or GEM is bad i would assume something is drawing too much amperage like a window motor etc. Since it is winter however it could be attributed to a glass that was stuck from ice.

 

Thanks for your help!
I think I will have to get an auto electrician on the case! what makes it worse is that its had a valet so the carpets are damp!

 

Hey guys my gf has a 2010 6i none of the windows work except the passenger side front one, I have tried fuses and relays but nothing doesn't work off the master switch or the door switches either I'm kinda stumped at this point any help would be greatly appericated thanks in advance

 

ldavis76, Chances are if one window is working, the circuit is intact. Suspect culprit may be the master door switch. Check for power/grounds at your connections there before you load up the parts cannon and take another shot at it.
