With the windows, is it all of them or just one of them? And do they work with the drivers or passengers door open?

As for the Heating, there's comprehensive info in the Wiki on that issue :D

with the windows, both the windows stop working from both switches, and regards to the heater it's just the blower we are not getting volts to fuse 20 in the engine bay.

What does it mean if they work with the drivers door open even when the ignition is off? Thanks

Gayla, it means everything's working as it should. There's a relay that switches power directly from the battery to the window switches when the door opens, driven by the door trigger pin switches in the A-pillar.

phi1, if your system is tempremental it suggests a loose connection somewhere. I can't be more specific than that, but you ought to have this question moved to the Technical section.
