I was installing a new courtesy light bulb in the front drivers side door, and I accidently touched the contacts together with my screwdriver. I believe that I blew out a fuse when I did this, but I can not find it. The problem is, this blew out the whole front drivers side door, including the power door locks, and apparently the entire power windows for the entire car. I have looked at the 3 fuse boxes under the hood and the fuse box under the steering wheel, but none of these seem to have a burned out fuse or are marked for front drivers side/power window control. Please help, as I live in Florida and it is very hot =(

Thanks,

Double check fuses 12 and 40 in the fuse box. They supply power to the LCU (local control units). The LCU's are the switch pods at each door. If those appear good post again, you may have a more serious problem.

 

Thanks for the advice. I checked them, and they didn't work. However, I played around with the step light bulb I replaced, and I figured out that it works as long as that light bulb is taken out. So, I think I will just deal without having a step light rather than having no door control unit/power windows. Thanks again for the help.
