power window switch
I just changed my drivers side power window switch in my 77. I did not disconnect the battery and after the new switch was installed the headlights,radio and both windows do not operate. Everything worked fine prior to this except the drivers window .It worked speraticully.The switch was an easy swap thats why I did not diconnect the battery.Any help would be appreciated.This is my first vette and I hope the other little things go smoother.

I looked and none of the fuses are marked windows also checked the manuel no luck there there is a 30 amp circuit breaker and I was told by "ask a chevy mechanic"for 29 dollars that this re sets automatically. This is at the top of the fuse box marked acc.thanks for your input and any other help would be appreciated.

There is a 30 amp circuit breaker mounted to the outer firewall on early C3's (might be there on later ones, too; but I'm not sure). It could be 'toast'. Or, there might also be a fusible link somewhere in that power line that fried, also.
