I think that the circuit on the switch unit is giving you an earth when it shouldnt be. And somehow, when the door is open it gives an alternate path to earth allowing the transistor switch to work, hence opening windows with door open.

Mine has a similar problem, just got to get to the scrappie to see if the got one out of a Cav with electric front windows.

But, before that, I gotta fix the electrics on my engine [img]/rolleyes.gif[/img] .

Have you had any of the interior/centre console/seats etc out prior to getting the problem?

You may want to try this:
<ol type='1'>[*]Disconnect all the following:<ol type='1'>[*]Central locking ECU</li>[*]window switch.</li></ol></li>[*]Switch on the ignition, If the fuse still blows, its probably the electric mirror circuit.</li>[*]If it dont blow, plug in the central locking ECU, if it blows its that,</li>[*]If it still dont blow, its either the window switches or the wiring.</li></ol>Good Luck
