94 Q45a::New battery install disabled power windows, locks..

[breichert]

RATS.

She starts great now; however, after driving off as dumb as happy from WalMart with a newly installed battery, I didn't realize till a mile later that now my power windows, locks and mirrors won't work!

Is there a reset of some kind or is this a complicated garage fix?

Thanks in advance for your replies and advice!

HAPPY NEW YEAR NICO.

Sounds like all three of those non-working systems might be on a common fuse, a large one, under the hood. Check them all, even the little ones under the dash, before giving in to a garage fix.

Checked the little ones -they appear just fine; however, where to look for under the hood for a common fuse, a.k.a. BIGGIE?

Thanks for the tips here!

I'm no electrical guru but It looks like they all tie in to the body control module. Go back to the passenger compartment fuse box and take a look at the 10 amp fuse labeled BCM. Maybe even swap it out with another 10 amp fuse from a different location. There's also a couple of circuit breakers and fuses in the schematic but the BCM fuse controls it all.

Wiring diagrams start on page EL-108 of the FSM. I linked to the 95 FSM only because it has an index and is easier to use. Your 94 will be the same.
