Check the wiring that goes in to the door from the pillar or for wiring catching on the window mechanism inside the door.

If the fuse doesn't blow immediately, it could be that the mechanism is rusted up overloading the motor.

Or the glass is not running freely in its guides.
Thanks, I think its the glass not running freely in its guides . Ill get the silicon spray on to it .
Hey mate, So I thought it might be the window sticking but its not that . I applied some silicone and its running freely but still the fuse popped . I had the car off and went to replace the fuse and she gave a big pop and blew the fuse right away (20amp). Im not sure what my next move should be . Any ideas? Thanks

Finding the dead short you have i would think. Fuses 9 and 22 service both front door out stations. Which window operation caused fuse to blow initially? Strip that door card and find the short.

Yeah mate , I got in there last night and found some Kentucky fried wire ! Now the fault is clear and fuse is holding . Time to knock the top off a couple of frothie ones !! Until next time .
