Why do none of the windows work but there is not a fuse and circuit breaker is good what next?

I had the same problem with our 1998 Pontiac GP. Both windows suddenly failed to operate. Checked the circuit breaker, that was fine. Could not find any other type of fuse related to the windows. The answer? The electrical pigtail that should have been plugged into the two window operating switches on the drivers side door had come loose. Once reconnected, all was well. (To access the wiring, just GENTLY pry up the switch panel from the bottom - below the two window switches.)

How works oil circuit breakers?
A circuit breaker is a safety device that is put in an electrical circuit. When something fails, or shorts out, the circuit breaker "senses" the excessive current and automatically opens (or breaks) the circuit. They are used in homes, as well as some electrical devices. They are different than a fuse in that a circuit breaker can be reset. A fuse on the other hand, has to be replaced once it opens up. I hope this helps you. for more info, here is a web page about circuit breakers: <a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-circuit-breaker.htm">Ciruit breakers</a>
Compare and contrast a circuit breaker and a fuse?
A circuit breaker is something you can reset. When the switch "trips", the position of the switch goes to the middle. To reset it, move to Off, then On.When a fuse blows, its two external contacts are no longer connected by the internal piece of fuse wire and an electrical current can no longer flow.More technical details about fusesIn all types of disposable fuse, two contacts which are on the body of the fuse are connected to a piece of fuse wire inside. The material used to make the fuse wire, and its thickness, designed to melt - and thus break the circuit - if the current flowing through it exceeds a certain amperage, which is known as the fuse's "maximum rated current".There are many different types of disposable fuse: some are screwed into what looks like a light bulb socket.Other types are small tubes - made of glass or ceramic - with a metal contact at each end. They are held in a fuse holder that has contacts, clips or springs which make contact with each of the fuse's end contacts.Some commonly used automotive fuses are made of plastic and have two flat metal "pins" which plug into a pair of contacts in the fuse box.
What is the full form of MCB?
The definition of MCB is a miniature circuit breaker, it trips if there is a line to natural fault. Ill add some extra information about the different types. RCD - residual current device = This is what you could separate you're circuits up with by inserting 1 of these in you're consumer unit (if you have lets say 10 circuits it goes like this... rcd-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-rcd-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-main switch. you see the rcd's control 5 circuits each, if 1 of these circuits had an earth fault on it, the rcd will trip and 5 of them circuits will go off, which means you have to keep tripping in you're rcd with an mcb 1 at a time to see which circuit the fault is on. RCBO - residual current breaker with overload protection- These can be installed in place of mcb's and rcd's, the rcbo is an mcb and rcd in 1 breaker. For example, i have installed a consumer unit full of these, in this case if a circuit forms a fault then its only that circuit that goes off. I hope this extra piece of information helps you along and best of luck. <<>> In electrical terminology MCB stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker.
A circuit in which all the devices are connected in a single path is called?
A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.
What type f circuit by passes most resistance and large dangerous curent flow?
A short circuit. In a properly installed system the fuse will blow to prevent a fire.
Where is the fuse for the power windows located in a 1989 firebird?
ITS SHOULN'T BE JUST A FUSE IT SHOULD HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER TOO. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OPENS IF YOU HOLD THE SWITCH TOO LONG. ITS 20AMP ON MOST CARS THAT I WORKED ON. ITS IN THE FUSEPANEL ON MUSTANGS. GOOD LUCK PAUL G
How do you find a wiring diagram for the power windows on a 1996 Dodge Dakota extended cab The fuse block has power the fuse or circuit breaker is good but both windows will not work Anyone help?
the power windows fuse is fuse 14 the panel says back up lights but its also for the power windows
What is wrong if the power windows sunroof and seatbelts do not work on a 1994 Nissan Maxima?
First check & see if you have good ground and clean batt terminals. Then battery cable to engine & frame. My guess is that its a fuse or circuit breaker. Your manual should show fuse & breaker locations.
Why won't both Power Windows go down Would there be a fuse to check?
There is a resetting circuit breaker instead of a fuse on most models. On my 1995 there are two such reset breakers in my fuse panel and they are interchangable. You need to check to see if there is power going to the breaker. If there is no power on the other side then the breaker has likely failed open. You can jumper across the terminals and if the windows start working then you know the breaker is bad. Had a similar problem, turned out that the clips where the CB plugs in under the dash where not making a good connection with the breaker, just use a flat head and pry them closer.
What size Mini circuit breaker is the same as a 13 amp fuse?
13 amp breaker. A fuse and circuit breaker perform the exact same function so they should be the exact same size. They protect the wiring within a circuit from overheating and catching on fire. A 13 amp breaker is a superior product that has a good chance of operating between 13 and 13½ amps, while a fuse might not blow until the current reaches 15 amps.
A what stops the flow of charges by switcing off the current if it gets to high?
That's a good description of a fuse or circuit breaker.
What is the advantage of a breaker over a fuse when used in your home?
A fuse is a one-time device; once it is used, it is no good. A breaker can be reset.
What are the differences between a vacuum breaker and a SF6 gas circuit breaker breaker and a sf6 gas circuit breaker?
vcb is have vaccume and sf6 cb is filled with sf6 gas which will have good arc quencing property
You have a 1988 Honda Accord DX that lost power to the fuel pump and alternator fuse any ideas?
Hard to say, but I have found this problem can be right at the fuse/circuit breaker box itself. Disconnect the battery ground and CLEAN the connections where the breaker/fuse plugs in. Are the other circuits next to it alive? Look for the simple things first. Good luck.
Why would plugging in an Air Conditioning unit in a wall receptacle blow a fuse?
The fuse (or circuit breaker) rating has been exceeded. I'm assuming you do NOT have the AC unit connected to a dedicated circuit. Lets say you have a 15 amp circuit breaker and the AC unit draws 12 amps and other items on the same circuit draw an additional 5 amps. The total amp draw of 17 amps exceeds the circuit design capacity; so the breaker trips to prevent an electrical fire. If you have old style fuses, NEVER EVER replace a fuse with a higher rated one! I'm sure you'd have problems with your homeowners insurance paying out when your house burns down. Have an electrician run a new dedicated circuit for the AC unit and you should be good to go.
What are 2 protective devices used to open a circuit?
The GSR plug is the newest device to perform this function. It becomes a mini circuit breaker for the circuit and is critical for high risk areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.The basic circuit breaker is another device. It opens the circuit when the amperage exceeds the rating of the breaker. It is a device that can be reset.The electrical fuse is the eldest of the devices. The disadvantage is that it must be replaced when the circuit is opened by overload.Circuit breakers and their cheap alternative, fuses, are used to disconnect the power if an excessive current flows.
Why is it a good thing when a circuit breaker switches off?
Means there is an overload on electricity
