57 power windows

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Where is the fuze located for the power windows?  My windows work fine normally but sometimes I get in my car and the switches do nothing...but will work again shortly afterwards.  Bad ground maybe?

If it is a fuse then when it is dead it will stay dead. A fuse won't reset itself. Now there may be a relay that is bad but that would be a different issue.There could be a resettable breaker that is bad. Will need to check your manual.

Tried that I'm trying to locate the window relay.  Is it behind the dash?  Its definitely not by the fuze box

[Walter Youshock]

Relay is on the driver kick panel.  I'd check the wires going to the door.

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Its all the switches though.  I think the heat might be doing it.  They were fine last night

[Walter Youshock]

If the master gang switch isn't getting power, the individual switches may not work.  Did you pull the driver switch and check the contacts on the wired circuit?  Try jumping them and see if the windows work.

The windows work now...but now I'm getting a flicker on my gen light every minute or so.  Think my regulator may be adjusted too low causing the battery to drain

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Now the GEN light flickers every minute very lightly

[Walter Youshock]

At idle or while driving?  Could be regulator but I'd look at the generator brushes and commutator.

[Cadillac Jack 82]

At idle.  Nothing happened when I was driving its only when its parked
