Hi There, I have a problem with my 2006 gu patrol that i cant find an answer for and was looking for some help. Last night i heard a clicking coming from behind the glove box every 15 seconds or so. From previous experiences i believed to noise to be a auto reset circuit breaker. The circuit breaker in question i believe is a part of the power window circuit as they no longer work. So for this circuit breaker to continue to reset and trip, Do i have a dead short? or is there a part that fails to cause this fault? Any help????

Welcome to the forum , not much of an introduction which we don't like but welcome anyway , sort of sounds like a relay problem , if no one else suggests anything because of the short intro , go to the manuals and check the wiring diagram for your model .
Relays do have a life span and always handy to have a spare or two in the toolkit .

It sounds like the circuit breaker is tripping in and out. It will more then likely be a dead short possibly in the electric window circuit. Has any work be done to vehicle recently? any accessories just been fitted?

No recent work done. It is the circuit breaker. Have unplugged all window switches, unplugged relay and still same problem. I have continuity on the white/red and chassis. Where to check next?

What about the blue/white wire that comes out of the bulkhead on the drivers side, that goes into the relay by the battery or is it different to a GQ?

Which relay did you disconnect?. The one near the circuit breaker, below/beside the glovebox?

12 volts on that wire.

If the circuit breaker is still tripping in and out with the power window relay removed your problem is not with the electric windows.
That circuit breaker also provides protection for central locking, power seats, sunroof and I’m sure there’s something else I can’t remember at the moment. The wiring is still there even if these items aren’t fitted to your vehicle.
I would start by checking the wiring harness for the power seats under both front seats. Make sure it’s not damaged or been caught in the seat runners.

Yendor, your a legend! Plugged all the windows back in and disconnected the power seats. Issue lies within the drivers seat. Gives me a job for the weekend. Thanks for the info. It has been awesome.
