BMW/1985 325e power windows

Question
 I just brought a 1985 325e and none of the power windows will roll down.  I assumed it was the fuse at first, but after finally locating where the fuse (#17} on the fusebox} for the windows/sunroof was at, I realized the fuse wasn't blown because the sunroof still worked. I haven't been able to figure out if there is a big circut breaker for  the windows so I haven't teted that. Have you experienced any problems like this, and if so could you tell me what the problem might be?  Thaanks for any help you can offer!!!

Answer
Micheal,
 There is a big circuit breaker for the windows, and it's right above the radio.  If you look, there will be a black button that just pushes in and clicks, and if you push it again it will pop out a little and have a red line visible.  This is the circuit breaker for the windows, but I dont think it controls the sunroof.  Make sure it's connected.

 Try this and let me know,
 Josh

Expertise

I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.

Experience

I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
