Why in the heck is my power window circuit breaker keep overloading!!

Here's an idea, pull the rubber boot where the wires pass through into your drivers door back and look at the wires. It's not all that uncommon for the wires to break over time with the door opening/closing. A wire in there would cause all the windows to have an issue and potentially allow a partial grounding which could heat up a breaker.

Ok Great! Thanks for the info!

I had the same thing happen with my 2003 Yukon (maybe the same setup?). I would blow the relay intermittently, and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I ended up taking it to the dealership. Apparently the passenger front heated-seat element would short out whenever someone sat on the seat - blowing the relay that included the power windows. I'm not sure if your car is wired the same, but I would try unplugging the power seats and see how long you go before you blow another relay (if you have heated seats). Good luck - I too hate electrical gremlins.

You were exactly right! Finally got my window problem fixed and yes it was a loose wire that was shorting out inside the door chasis..
