So, I made the mistake of trying to raise all 4 power windows at the same time. They all stopped working.

I think this tripped the circuit breaker because other items on the breaker don't work (e.g., sunroof).

The owner's manual says that the circuit breaker automatically resets itself. But it's been 1 hour and that hasn't happened.

What next?

Thanks,
Dave

What year/model? I haven't run across any circuit breakers in my cars yet, everything is protected non-resetting fuses AFAIK - I've never dealt with dead windows, however, so I've never chased down the fuse.

It's a B4 90q. Manual says windows=circuit breaker. Is there a relay that affects all 4 windows?

nothing

My factory repair manual says that relay 5 is for the roof, and both 5 and 6 are for the windows and roof. I think that there is only one relay in 5 on manual windowed cars, and one big relay in both the 5 and 6 slots for cars with power windows.

I'm not seeing any window fuses listed, so the circuit breaker must be in the relay/control module.

sunroof isn't working...so either the relays or control module, i guess.

nothing

Actually I believe the relay IS the "control module".
