I made a post earlier about my brakes going out in my car. So I get in today and none of my windows will roll down. The power mirrors won't move either. Any idea what may be going on?

Just wanted to update you guys. A friend of ours put the brake pads on and thankfully it didn't need rotors. That was less than 50 bucks. Yesterday my boyfriend was cleaning out the car and he decided to pop the door panel off and everything was disconnected!! So you connect to things together and bam, windows work! So I got both things fixed over the weekend for less than 50 bucks. Whoo hoo!!!!!!

it could be the motors but it is usually one or the other that goes. each window has a different motor my sil an mils both have had to be changed out on atleast one of thier windows. an the mirrors have different motors too.. I would assume wireing. just keep an eye out becuase wiring can can catch fire. Our explorer did to the owner who had it before us, we never had aproblem because it got it fixed. But I would call around and find a place that gives free check outs of cars with out doing any work till you tell them its ok. Alot of places around her do that. Good luck though.

Did you check the fuses that are inside the car usually on the drivers side. LOL

The brakes definitely need looked at, follow your brake lines & see if they've been cut or if they wore out on their own or if you're out of brake fluid. (If they look cut, call the cops!) The motor that controls your windows has probably crapped out. One reason I miss manual windows :/

Check each window individually. For example roll down the back windows from the back door. If the windows roll down on using their door panel then the problem is the driver side door panel.

If they do not then go to auto zone and tell them you need the window motor relay replaced.

Where do you live?
