It's not the switches cause I just replaced them with ones I know work.Fuses are all set,don't think it's the window motors because the mirrors quit at the same time as the windows.Any suggestions?????? Thanks

Um...you sure the fuse is good? I think the power windows/mirrors have those big fuses that you can't see if they're bad or not. If not that, there might be a fusable link to those??? I'm not sure. Maybe you hooked something up wrong when you installed the new switches.

Looking through the manual and the mirrors and windows don't have much in common at all. I would suggest you are looking for two problems. You say the fuses are good but is there power there?? If your rear trunk release works the mirror fuse is ok. The only thing in common I can think of is broken wires in the door jam area but that would just affect one side. You are looking for something affecting both mirrors and both power windows. Access switches and see if you have power on orange wire terminal A for power mirrors and power with key on pink wire going into window switches.


Just looked again at the manual and they do have a ground in common. G301 located at upper RH shroud.

so here is what I would do. at the power mirror switch. access the black wire at terminal B (splice in a new ground) and give it a dedicated ground to the body and see if that fixes it.

They share their ground point. Check to see if you have a good connection. It's under the right end of the dash about two inches in front of the passenger courtesy lamp... two black wires screwed thru an eyelet into the side of the upper footwell.

FYI. power windows and locks are on those metal circuit breakers, not fuses. You can pop them out just like fuses to replace them. There in the fuse panel too.
