Help with passenger front window

Hello...Im having a problem with my passenger side front window, the fuse keeps on blowing fuse 24 every time i try rolling the window up or down, also i notice that when the car is off and key is out of the ignition it still has power in the window switch.

Sounds like you have a short. Time to find a wiring diagram and track it down. Pull fuses related and see if the power goes away. It's normal for power to be on at the Windows until you open the door so make sure you open then door to turn off the ckt for testing.

there is also a possibility that your window regulator is failing.. While it still works, it could draw too much current triggering a fuse blow.. Or could be as simple as plastic pieces that hold window to the regulator. I would change both- regulator and holding clips.

One of the plastic window clip (90-cent item) may be broken.
When that happens the glass is skewed and the motor works hard to push the glass upward ---> blowing fuse.

I wrote a DIY for the plastic clips recently, search the DIY using my username.
