E30 Convertible Electric Windows

[Nielja]

Hi Guy's,

Please help, my electric windows keep blowing the fuse when I try using it. It will work perfectly three or four times but then blows. I took out all the switches and had them checked using a Multimeter and they seem to work fine including the cut out button.
Sometimes it works great when the car is off, but as soon as I start it it blows the fuse.

Any Ideas why this is happening

What else runs off this fuse?

From what I can see ....it is fuse 17 and nothing else runs off it except the K5 Relay.
Maybe I should try changing the relay.

I think that's a good idea.

Do you have a sunroof?
