.2 of a volt you need a new wire! hope this helps a bit

hey guys,
thanks so much. The fuse for the "room lamp" located in the engine compartment was blown. I replaced it and it worked like a charm. Thanks alot! Couple questions though.
Question 1: what did you guys mean by checking the "relay"? I'm really not good with cars
Question 2: How can I check if the 30 and 40 amp fuses are blown? My power windows are extremely slow so I'm thinking it could be the 30 amp fuse in the engine compartment.
Thanks again!
