Power Window fuse #37

[Beckyrialto]

A long holiday weekend and 2 days of rain have slowed down my circuit breaker work! But I'm back on it now.
This is what was under the melted fuse box. It doesn't look like much, but if you zoom in, the slot second from the right is melted too.

THIS is what was under the previous picture. That's a Lot of wires!

Wow- Heavy Flash back!
Reading back through this, I noticed a major concept
that wasn’t really discussed in the original posts.

Breakers get hot, melt things and fail because something
that they feed pulls way too much current. It’s not getting
hot because it’s failing. The breaker is most likely just doing
it’s job. Not a bug - It’s the main feature. But, it’s not the best
design...

Swapping in a fresh breaker can be a useful diagnostic tool,
but dollars to donuts, the real problem will continue to cause
it to trip, get hot and repeat. That’s the downside to an “Automatic”
thermal breaker that resets all by itself. Convenient if someone tries
repeatedly to operate a stuck, frozen or broken window, but a PITA
if you have an ongoing problem that consumes too much juice.

It’s also useful to remember that if it’s been going on long enough
that you’ve already cooked fuseblock contacts, that has also become
a high current draw issue that’s also now a part of the failure chain.

The solution is to track down the initial problem, solve it and repair
the damage that was caused. Once everything is minty fresh and back
to OEM condition, it might not be a bad idea to seek out a brand new
breaker. By their nature, a thermally actuated circuit breaker is a
consumable device with a finite lifespan. Fortunately, generic
replacements are pretty easy to come by.

This one looks about right:
