Front passenger window help

I'm not sure if any of you guys on here have experienced this, but heres the issue:
while i was driving the fuse for the windows blew. None of the windows or the sunroof would open or close- the ones that were open stayed open and the ones that were closed, stayed closed. So i drove to the next auto shop on my route and replaced the fuse right away. once i had it in, i turned on the car and the front pas. window went all the way down on its own. the other windows and sunroof worked normally, but the front pass. window was unresponsive.

i took the door panel off and checked the motor... it only moves in one direction on its own, and when i hit the button on the driver side door for the window to go up or down, the motor would stop.

i searched online to see if it could be the wiring (being that i have lambo doors) and i've revised both wire harnesses that i've altered.. and still nothing.

today: i went to a junk yard and picked up the control unit for the passenger side door to see if that was what the problem was- still nothing.

can anyone figure this out? because i've tried pretty much everything thats come to mind. i even rechecked the fuse. im stumped..

Well it sounds to me like the motor is getting a signal to roll down.
Be it a shorted wire or the switch malfunctioning.
Because of the motor stopping when you try on driver side switch.

The fact that you blew a fuse for no known reason... I'm leaning to a shorted wire for sure.
Pinched possibly in a jam or something?

What happened in the 1 hour leading up to the fuse blowing?
Open any doors or mess with anything?
Also may need to check the wiring in the other doors as it's connected.

im not sure about the wires being pinched: i've tried lowering the windows with the doors open as well and still nothing. but i think you're right with it being the wiring: the only thing is- i've looked on google for the wiring diagrams to find out which wires belong to the pass. window. i found one, but i cant find the wires in the car. its becoming quite annoying

Simplified Wiring is what you're looking for... Somewhere around 54b to be more precise

alright: i've downloaded the FSM and checked every wire: checked the switches: checked the motor... still the same results.

for some reason the motor moves the window all the way down. and when i hit the button to move the window up: the motor just stops. -_-

Can you check to verify the motor is getting a 12v signal telling it to roll the window down?
If it is you can trace that signal back to it's source.
If it's not then I'd say you have ghosts!
