I think i may have blown a fuse yesterday. My power windows, door locks, and sunroof does not work anymore. Does this sound like a blown fuse problem or aftermarket alarm w/keyless entry problem??? Is there a fuse that will control all of those accessories???

Sounds like a fuse but what's causing it to blow is something grounding out. Depends on how the alarm is wired up. Does it have the window roll up feature?

No it doesnt control windows. I was redoing some of the wiring and had not disconnected my battery and allowed a hot wire to touch metal. I felt sure it blew a fuse i just was not sure which fuse to check. I was not aware that one fuse would control all of that.

For the S13, the sunroof and power windows share the same feed off one side of an ignition relay. The ignition relay is located under the dash on the driver's side. The power from the battery that feeds this leg of the ignition relay also contains a branch circuit that feeds the door lock timer, and thus the door locks. In addition, this feed also contains a "circuit breaker" that is located in the fuse block under the dash on the driver's side. The "fusible link" should be in the fuse and relay box adjacent to the battery. Bottom line, it appears there are 2 possible culprits (fuse and fusible link) that could affect the sunroof, power windows, and door locks.
