2001 Cadillac Eldorado - The Radio, Fuel Door dash button, Trunk dash button, and Power Windows all stopped working one day out of the blue. All 4 components just lost power. I have checked most if not all of the fuses, they seem to be fine.

=Also my power seats still function and other electronic things such as dash meters and side mirror controls. What could be wrong?

Keep checking the fuses. The power windows may have a circuit breaker. Make sure you check them.

Did you check for power to the master switch itself.

Master switch is drivers door switch.

Look in the fuse block for the breaker.

9 years later I have this exact same problem. Everything worked before. Besides a battery change, not much different.

Anyone ever figure this out?

Good afternoon,

I attached the wiring diagram and the location of the circuit breaker for you.

Check for power on both sides of the breaker with a voltmeter to see if there is power.

That doesn't match up with my fuse block. Mine has 2 rows? The maxi fuse one underneath the top fuse box.

My car was missing the Comfort fuse - since it was purchased, I'm not sure how the problem just arose. Does anyone know the size of it?

No worries.

I attached the fuse amp and circled what it controlled.
