According to the manual, Fuse 11 protects:

Radio
Clock
Gear selector lamp
A/C Panel lamps
Electric Windows

Try disconnecting both window switches and see if the fuse has not blown.

If it hasn't, then connect one of the original window switches and check operation of the window. If this is OK then try a new window switch in the same socket to operate the same window, with note to any specific orientation to the socket and wiring colours. If the fuse blows then suspect the new switch.

Good luck

The fuse blows only when the jumper for the light is on (new switches from DMCH bought a long time ago)

Without the jumper, the switches are working perfectly, weird?
Maybe there is a mistake on the drawing?

First try the other new switch in the same electrical plug socket just in case it is just the one switch that is faulty. If the fault still exists, try the first new switch in the other electrical plug.

Try rotating the switch 180 degrees so it fits the socket the opposite way around. If it doesn't physically fit, try moving the "jumper" so that it fits on the centre pin and the other adjacent electrical pin.

If all else fails then contact DMC Houston for further advice, but at least you've found the cause of the blowing fuse. It's a process of elimination.

I have some from Ed here that have those same 2 pins soldered together, the same as yours is. So either you have a bad switch, or a bad car ;)

The answer is a bad switch :)
The other one works properly, and the other one don't.
Once the jumper is in place the fuse blown. I bought them in 2015 from DMCH (installed now), so I guess the warranty is expired ????

I'd like to remove the doors panels, but I can't?
Any ideas how to disassemble it please?
