Recently it has twice blown 30 A Maxi fuse for power window & sunroof circuit. All motors work fine and it worked well for a couple of weeks. Presently it's all okay but it could happen again. It does not blow while going over rough road but I suspect it happens some time between when I park it and turn it off and go back later to start the car. Could the window relay have an intermitent short to ground during energizing or de-energizing? Somebody told me to install a 30 A circuit breaker instead of fuse but that doesn't seem like a proper fix. Any suggestions would help.

I show a 40 amp fuse for that circuit which also does sunroof if you have. A 30 amp circuit breaker is built into window relay.
