Rain + windows down = Not Working

OK, I'm on vacation and what a great day !

Temperature is ~85-90f. My interior is black leather so I don't want heat-build up because I'm driving it shortly. Went to the pool. Went to get food with Blah blah blah...

Came back to cabin.... DARN IT !!!! I left my windows down and it rained. Now they won't go back up(Power windows of course). Power locks still work. I took the P/W switches apart before and am aware that the circuit board have a rubber cover over them for protection.

Somebody tell me this has happened to them and their window switches just needed to dry out.

OK, I'm on vacation. what a bad day !

Its only one nuance. Wet datapackets... Check fuses and dry out.

Well, looks like the Passenger side took most of the abuse. The rear ashtray had 'bout 1/2 inch of rain in it.
Check fuses and dry out.
As far as I know, there is one fuse for the windows. The fuse box under the hood. If there is another one besides that one, let me know....
I did not check the fusible link(green)...I guess I could check that and report that.

It is hot&sunny outside. Car is drying. I think it has to with the pass.Side front. The door locks do not work when the lock is manually pushed up/dowm as it normally does. Also When I try operating the front passenger side windowby it's switch...I hear two clicks in the switch about 1 second apart from one another. Kinda like a circuit breaker breaking, then resetting itself...<Sigh.>

If I'm missing something or that info can help in diagnosing...Let me know. Other than that update, Car is in the hot sun with the passenger-side door panel off.

Update coming soon.

Locks also? ...Same fusible link & circ braker: blown, maybe. Check also LINKS for more info at: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/13

Fuses p.5.

Note: the pass doors will get +12V only after request granted from driver controller; no constant batt. there...

Windows are up ! took a tester light and went to the rear drivers-side window circuit board. While checking the different solder connections for any sign of power(ign sw on), one of those connections made the window motor raise up the window. Just by looking for power via the tester light.

Needless to say(but will anyway), I went to each door and did this same thing.
Can't be a fuse. Door locks working as normal. Windows still not working via switch.

At least the windows are up. I keep forgetting the wireing diagrams mentioned above. They really helped. More trouble shooting tomorrow.

Oh how I wanted that to be the case ! Windows have not come to restored working order via any of the switches.

The diagram above is helpful, but I am unable to see any numbers printed on the pcb. I'm leaning toward the main switch. Wiring ?, but would like to do some more testing before buying another one. Mainly because all the window are getting power and can be operated by a grounded 12v test light.

Is there a diagram that shows wire colors instead of #'s ?
