Blown window fuse

[1996 328ti]

No big deal. Left window wouldn't go up. Right window wouldn't go down.
Blown fuse #14.

I'm wondering if this is a sign of things to come or just one of those things?

That's an indication that your karma is out of balance. ;-) Personally, I wouldn't stress about it unless it happens again.

This is off topic but Im geussing the fuses are touchy in these cars, did you do anything to your car right before the fuse blew?


About a month ago I had my dash out becuase I was painting it, and everytime I started the car the rear brake light fuse blew. I would have to put in a new one everytime it cranked up if I needed to drive, very annoying and I have no idea what could have caused that condition. It went back to normal once everything was put back in and installed properly.

I didn't do anything except drive.
I'm not going to lower my window again until I get some spare 30A fuses.

Guess it was just one of those things.
Fuses heat up and after 12 years it was time.

If it happens again, pull the panels off and check the wires aren't getting worn. The fiber wrap kind of falls apart after time, exposing the bundle.

You'll probably notice some wonky behavior with the side mirrors if this is the cause.
