I have updated original post with correct year/ Thanks

Redbull, I did all test as on troubleshooting diagram and all checks out. I do have power up to the plug where the switch is on the door. I did check switch and that also checks out.

I'm going to try and go direct to motor and see if i can get it to work. Wondering if drivers motor is out would it effect other 3 remainding windows?

Thanks

Did you try swapping the two relays?

One motor out would not affect the other windows. I would still test the motors though.

yes I did switch relays and still no change. Just just got done testing power beyond switch to where it plugs into the motor and have power there as well. I'm going to have to say its the motor. I just now need to figure out how to get motor out

I dont know which way to go from here. Put a new motor and new switch still nothing. Like I mentioned earlier I have on the driver fuse kick panel a 10 amp fuse that reads p/w relay. its a fuse not a relay. I get no power with key on or off on either side of the fuse. I did check all relays up front under hood and checks out. what get me is when I disconnect the motor and put a test like at the plug where the motor plugs into. I get power there but still windows dont work. Anymore ideas would be greatly appreciated

When you get a chance, put your car info in your signature, so we don't have to go back to the first post to remember your vehicle.

I am also confused. What year is your car?

Yes, that is the fuse. That is the fuse to protect the circuit the power window relay is on. The power window relay is located in the under-hood fuse/relay box, as shown in post #9.

Finally figured it out. It was a short/loose connection at the drivers harness going into the door. I notice the light would shut off when door is in certain position.

Drove me nuts but glad to have windows working again..

Thanks for all reponses.

Good to hear....too many times we never hear back once someone finds the issue.
