This is the reason I asked, look at the info:A customer might comment that the Power Sunroof, Windows, and/or the Heated seats are inoperative. There have been reports from dealers that the 10 amp roof/heat seat fuse was open in the BCM.

Recommendation/Instructions:
Cause:
Dealers are finding that circuit #243 (YEL) wire, going to LH and or RH Heated Seat switch was found to be shorted to ground at the seat track. Dealers are finding the wiring in the driver or passenger seat was getting pinched by the recliner mechanism for easy access seat operation.

Correction:
Remove the driver and passenger seat outer bezels and inspect for damaged wiring to the heated seat switch. If damaged wiring is found, make the necessary repairs and re-route the harness as needed.

Follow this info if it doesnt work post back and will advise on next step.

I think I may have confused you, my car DOES NOT HAVE HEATED SEATS, it DOES have power sun roof and it DOES work, but none of the side windows work.

Make sure the window lockout is not on. You will have to remove the master window switch, and test the accessory voltage circuit of the driver window switch with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground see if it lights. It's the yellow wire. Post back with what you find.

We tested the yellow wire with tester and it did light up on both the driver master switch and passenger side switch. What next?
