So, started driving down the road and all of a sudden, the driver window rolled itself up while the pop-ups closed then opened, and my shift lock control unit fried and started smoking. I have the battery relocated to the back and 0g wire going to a distrobution block. All of the wiring that goes to the positive terminal go to the block. the block blew a fuse after this happening as well.

i unplugged the Shift lock unit and replaced the fuse. everything else works so far but the driver window wont move. All 3 other windows work fine and when i push the button to roll the window down, the relay or "amp" for the window clicks but nothing.

im gonna keep looking around, just figured id throw this out there to see if i cant find a lead i didn't think of.

also, i haven't replaced the shift lock unit yet. all the local yards are closed.

Try another amp. Mine did the same thing then I replaced it with a known good one and it started working again

thats the plan so far. gonna go to a couple local yard to grab one... its just so weird that it rolled the window up right after the shift lock unit went out.

like a automatic safety function to roll the window up before the amp goes out lol.

also weird, the alternator stopped charging too. gonna check the ground tomorrow. its getting 12v to both wires on the plug but nothing coming from the primary lead. probably gonna have it tested tomorrow too.
