Re: powr dist. board/cRIO puzzle - please advise!

I third Al.

You are shorting through the chassis, through the cRIO's ground return and blowing the internal breaker on the PD.

This means you have two problems:
1) Your cRIO is not isolated from the robot frame.
2) That window motor branch is not properly insulated / isolated.

Fix both!
