Help! Power windows don't work in 97 maxima.
 

Hi. An auto parts store worker installed the wrong battery with reverse charges in my 97 maxima. At the time it sparked, and ever since then I've discovered a lot of problems. I've replaced the main fusible link so the power doors now work and the radio fuse so the radio now works. I replaced a fuse under the hood for the power windows but they still aren't working. What other fuses would go to the pw? What else could be the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

One of our members had a window problem recently.
Another member mentioned that a lot of wiring for the accessories is connected to the BDS relay.
Possibly the reversed polarity harmed the BDS.

this is why autozone clowns shouldn't work on customer's cars...


anything else besides the windows not working?

It was definitely a hard lesson to learn. The rear window defroster also isn't working. Possibly other things too, but nothing too important. Thanks for the advice. How would I get to the bds relay?

Here's 2 more fuses for you to check.

1) under the hood by the battery, check the 7.5 amp fuse labeled BCM.

2) in the dashboard, check the 7.5 amp fuse is position # 12. Fuse # 12 is the bottom fuse in the center column.

Are they liable if they mess things up?

Thanks DennisMik! It was fuse#12. The windows are now working. :)

I had a simuler situation and my power windows and sun roof power seets and dor locks stoped working fuses fixed every thing but the windos after a long day of wier chasing from the ecu i found out the cruse control on switch on the dash by the mirror control was burnt up i by pased the switch and now my windos and sunroof work
