Power Windows

[95PathFinderSEv6]

My power window circuit breaker keeps disengaging as soon as I plug it in. After about five seconds it will engage for about 1/4 second, allowing me to move the windows down slightly, but then disengages again. As far as I know about a breaker they are designed to disengage when the object is pulling too many amps, ive replaced the part and get the same result. The only electrical alteration I have made to the vehicle is to wire my foglights directly to the battery to bypass the headlight relay, but the windows still worked for months after that. Any help would be appreciated!

is it the same with all the windows? (do any other windows work when the one is question does not?) find the wires that operate said window once you unplug the harness from the switch panel and jump them using a small jumper wire and see if the window works.... second thought, unplug the harness from the switch panel while listening to the breaker. there could be a short in the switch itself. also, you may have to wait a bit to see if the breaker resets.

Kinda sounds like the window motor itself.

If it is only the driver side window doing this I would look at the driver window power amplifier. It is one of two modules, a white rectangular box about 1x1x4 inches located behind the passenger side kick plate.

no, its all windows. I just picked up a Chiltons manual to see if there was a relay or timer that was in the window circuit but the only other thing I could find was the power window amplifier, im going to pull that and check it.
