HELP- SEATS WONT MOVE, WINDOWS WONT MOVE

Like the title says, my seats no longer move(checked wires) and my windows wont go down. I know it could be a fuse or a relay but which one? I know the panel near my drivers side contains many fuses but the guidelines only shows you show little..So I was wondering which fuse number should I check for both the window/seats..Thanks alot....


98 Maxima!!!

Check fuse "f" it's a 30 amp fuse its located in the underhood fuse box. There are a few 30amp fuses there check them all.

Its not that hard, look on the pull off fuse cover (if you have it) and look for fuses for the interior electrical system, one might even be labeled windows or seats. Or pull them all out and check for blown ones, even that wont take more than a few minutes.

That 30 amp fuse I mentioned is actually a fusible link, it's much larger than a fuse, it's located in the underhood fuse box. It's one of the few things that will take out both the windows and the seats. How did the problem start? Were you or someone else working on the electrical system?

^My vehicle was involved in a minor car accident which resulted in me needing a left fender and door..(fuse box was slightly moved)...Alright, so if that doesnt fix the problem, worse case scenario?

Might just be bad connection of the fusible link "f" at the underhood fuse box. If the link is blown you can try replacing it. If it blows again some of the power wiring may have been shorted or disconected. If the fusible link does not fix it check the wiring running to/under the link. This should not be a big deal just an open or shorted wiring/circuit.

My guess is that the link or wiring got moved and is not making contact so it is not providing power to those circuits.

Since the fuse box is so close to the fender it may have gotten damaged or whoever replaced the fender may have left something out or not connected it properly.

What I did when one of my fuses went out is pulled each one and placed it back that way you'll find it. The way you can tell it is bad is if the metal part in the middle of the fuse is melted or not touching.
