I just bought power windows motors with lifting mechanism for my '87
e30 from a wrecked car. Looking at Bentley manual I noticed "Power
window circuit breaker - 25 amp". What is that?

Can I put a 25 amp fuse in it's place?

Sure, but why would you want to? It is that large switch-like
button either by the window switches or on the dash with a
lightning bolt on it. I have never heard of one failing.

Because I do not have one?

I think I will not put circuit breaker. I googled for a while, and it
seems that it's only function is to prevent fuse to blow when more than
two windows is rolled at the same time. I have only two doors/windows,
and I will not roll both at the same time (and even if I do, by mistake,
the worst that can happen is blown fuse).

OK, I finished now, and it works well, but I wonder what will I do if
something goes wrong, and I can not close window in a middle of
nowhere?

I know that sunroof can be closed manually, but how do you close door
window?
