    Check the relay for voltage. Be sure they are closing. The load reducing realy in particular controls current to the windows. Take that relay out (k7??) and check the connections. pin 30 and 85 should have 12V the others should not. Otherwise just jump pins 30 and 87 with a wire with two male quick connects on either end. Then see if the buttons illuminate. That will at least get power to the windows from the battery. Let me know if that helps at all

      i recently replaced a window motor that was seized because it was rusted shut... could be the motor directly.. i use a portable 12v battery supply to check for motor function... it's a big help

        Where is the relay you are talking about? I replaced the large one under the dash to no avail, and I tried every one in the underhood fuse box swapping it out with a new one and nothing changed.

        Maybe a wiring diagram would help...

          Just short the circuit. Take the relay out and put a wire between pins 30 and 87. This will feed power to the windows. If the relay is not closing due to a shorted wire then replacing the relay will not solve the problem. Try shorting it with a cable. I will get a picture for you after work.

            all the wiring on my switches had come apart when that happened to me. Pull the switches out and use connectors to attach the wired to the switches. No more problems for me.
