Alright, this all started when i had replaced my water pump. when i press the window control for the passenger side window, i have a power draw that dims the interior lights and when the motor is running it bogs down the motor as well. The passenger side window only goes down and not up, i checked the window motor and it works fine, i don't know what it could be. Help would be awesome. Thanx

the windows and door locks are controlled by the master window (an/or) door switch. the massive power drain? i would GUESS a short... alot, it seems, have master window switch issues... blame the cheap-o wiring that jeep was using at the time... my speakers suffer from inferior wire quality... if its shorting that bad, i would wanna get to the bottom sooner than later, for obvious reasons like fire hazard, etc... new window switch panels are up to 140 new, so F that and go JY. weird that this all started after the water pump change... i know that last time i changed my oil, i had to get the old filter off w/ wrinch, and it touched the leads on my started and arc'd and cut right thru the old filter! point is its easy to cross a wire or get it to arc, i hope thats not the case, cause it might mean more that the window switch. every thing else work right??

If you unplug the window motor... then try the switch do you still get a power drain ?

When i disconnect the motor on the passenger side i still get the power drain, so i'm thinking it has to do with the drivers side door switch/panel.

did you disconnect the battery when you did the water pump

should i take the panels off and check with the volt meter, the switches on both sides?

x2 if there fine i would check the water in the battery if you can and also load check the battery, a battery can start to go at any second

the battery is an optima yellow top and is positioned ways away from the pump.

the window did work fine b4 the pump was changed.

musta mised that as i know the water pump is away from the battery and the only thing electrical that was most liklely unplugged was the ac fan gotta be just a fluke that this happened after the pump was changed

if it means anything, the thermostat sensor was also unplugged but i dont see how that would affect such a draw in power.
