Hello from germany ..''
I have a 98' Camaro V6 with the following problem. The window up and down switch on the driver side is broken and has made a short circuit.The fuse on place 15 (WCB 30 Amp) is okay and fuse 17 for the radio is also ok. After install a new switch,the windows do not work.

On fuse 15 and on fuse 17 is no voltage..! But the radio will work fine... I have use a bridge (+) from the batterie to the right side of fuse 15 ( + to the window switch) and i dit it to close my windows via switch.
Wich part is going up in smoke..? Where can i find the mistake..? RAP Retained Accessory Power or BCM ..?
Thank you and greetings from germany... Tom

Update: RAP has no voltage ...! I have no wiring schematic (only from a 95 F Body) and the colors are different. Where does the electricity come from for the RAP...?

 

Here are two schematics from the 1998 Service Manual that help explain how the windows are wired. If you're interested, you can download a copy of this manual which has a troubleshooting guide that may also help you. Here's a link.
