Virage door controller reset fuse?
Discussion
Sorry if this is already posted - but I have looked and searched and can't see it (yet) if it is...
Anyway we all know I think that sometimes the door controllers on AM get "out of whack" and stop operating. This happened on my Vantage V8 convertible...I disconnected that controller in the door before I found that there's a simple fuse to remove and replace to give it a "power on" reset. This seems to work on most stuck windows.
Now I have my second AM - a Virage...and this morning the window stuck (drivers side) so I looked in the manual for the fuse number (to pull/replace=reset) but none are labelled with supplying the door controller (regardless of sides). (page 11-29 on wards of the manual)
So does anyone know if there is one fuse to pull for this - if so what number it is, and which box? If not are the door controllers now combined with another function's fuse I could look up?? What might be that number?
Thanks in advance for any help you can lend me.

Well I guess I found it....under the carpet passenger side (USA that's right of driver) and pull the cover. I saw it in the DB9 area finally....the search here is a rather poor.
Its hard to read the fuse numbers but I pulled 83 and 84 - there was "activity" - the drivers window went down on its own to bottom...I can move it UP but not down.
Now since it went down from the reset - the motor works both directions, and the limit switches can't be stuck (as the motor stops on its own both directions).
But still now manually operated down on drivers side...could be the switch? (a bit of a coincidence with the window not rising earlier - before fuse reset) so this is looking like either the controller...OR
I think it might be time to check the battery (I think its an original and that's 9 years) -
In my vantage all sorts of issues happened until I replaced the battery (yes both are/were on the trickle chargers -AM OEM) - I'll try that later...local cost was cheap (around $125) for the vantage battery and about an hour to swap (the access is very poor)
thanks - and suggestions welcome
