2011 535i Front windows won't go down

oksymoroni · 06-01-2016, 06:58 PM

My front windows just stopped working. No weird noises or anything, the switches are just dead. Rear windows work just fine. I tried changing the fuses but that didn't fix it. I changed fuses 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 32. Maybe I'm reading the fuse layout wrong but those are the fuses for the windows judging by the little window pic on the fuse layout. Any ideas of what could be wrong? Was I looking at the wrong fuses? Anyone have a similar issue?

I did the same and it fixed the window issue. However my sunroof tilt and auto open doesn't work. I'll try the reset again i guess.....

I am too. I am trying to figure where the window relays are located. Heard that they were behind the fuse box in back end hidden. I’ve replaced and checked every fuse front and back with no luck. And the control from driver side and passenger. I have no broken wires in the door jams either. Anyone know where these relays are for sure
