Where is the fuse and relay for power window on a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero?

The fuse and relay location for the power windows in a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero isn't consistently documented in a single, universally accessible location online. Repair manuals specific to that year and model are your best bet. However, you can expect to find them in one of these two places:

* Under the hood in the fuse box: This is the most likely location for the fuse. The fuse box under the hood usually has a diagram on the inside of the cover showing what each fuse controls. Look for fuses labeled "Power Windows," "Window," or something similar. Relays are sometimes located here as well, but often in a separate compartment within the fuse box.

* Inside the car, usually under the dashboard: Some Aleros might have a second fuse box (or an additional relay location) inside the passenger compartment, often under the dash on the driver's side. Again, a diagram on the inside cover should help.

To find the exact location:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is your primary source of information. It should have a diagram of the fuse boxes and explain what each fuse controls.

2. Look for online repair manuals: Sites like Haynes or Chilton offer repair manuals for your specific vehicle year and model. These are usually more detailed than the owner's manual and will explicitly show fuse and relay locations. You might have to pay a small fee to access these manuals.

3. Use a multimeter: If you're comfortable with basic electrical work, you can use a multimeter to test the fuses and trace the circuit to identify the problem. However, proceed with caution, and disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any electrical work.

Without the specific repair manual, pinpointing the exact location is difficult. The information above should guide your search. Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with fuses or relays.
