OOps, my windows and radio

So last night i was trying to fix my window switch that stopped working and all a sudden a few sparks flew out and now neither of my windows work and my radio wont come on. How would these two be related. There is no power to the radio fuse that his just above the breaker for the windows. Is there a fusable link somewhere that takes power to that part of the fuse block. Any ideas would be great. I dont know how many days I can make my 50 min drive to work without radio. I cant figure out what would have burned up or what happened. I tried using shoebox's schematic but I am terrible at reading those.

Did you check fuses? The other most common suspect would be the RAP module.

What and where is the RAP module. This is driving me nuts. I just drove the car for about an hour and it almost feels claustrophobic in there. ha ha

Hey can the RAP module be blown from a short. If I touched a ground and hot wire I would think a fuse or something would blow before the RAP would blowup. Are there any inline fuses or I guess they are called fusable links???

There are no fuses between the RAP module and the switch. Look on my Tech Page for pictures and schematics of components.

Re: OOps, my windows and radio

Hey Shoebox, I took the RAP apart and found where it burned out. I used a soldering gun and fixed it and the radio and window work great again. Can you check out the other post I have about my A/C. That one has me stumped. I cant seem to figure that thing out. Everything I check comes back ok.
