Car is a 75 convertible but I think the system is very similar for all C2 and C3s. A month or so ago I put the car away for the winter in my heated garage. I put the windows down using the switches when I parked it.
Yesterday I tried to raise the windows with the switches but neither one will work. No sounds of them attempting to work. Just dead.
I need help troubleshooting the problem. The car battery is charged. I started the engine to see if the battery was dead. Everything else electrical seems to work just fine. Don't know why the windows just stopped working. Since both windows quit at the same time I don't think there is a problem with the switches or motors.
I know the system has a 30 Amp circuit breaker on the fuse panel and a relay under the console which is a PIA to get to. My first thought was to check the fuse but the circuit breaker replaces the fuse. I don't know how to test the circuit breaker. I have ammeter but don't really know what procedure to follow.
Can anyone walk me through finding the fault. I'm a decent mechanic but not much of an electrician.
