Hey

Just purchased an e30 cab was testing all the windows and everything rolled down fine however when I tried to roll the rear passengers window back up it blew a fuse and did the same again when adding a new fuse, I'm thinking its probably the motor for the window but was just wondering if it could be anything else?

Cheers

Faulty motor is possible, but wouldn't be my prime suspect.
Swap the rear left window switch for one of the others, and see what happens.
I take it the fuse blows pretty much instantaneously - it's job is to provide short circuit protection only, and not overload protection that would be caused by a stuck motor.
