WTF is with my windows? I lost my service manual :(

Goddamn power windows just quit working the other night. No blown fuses, and the switches look good. Are there any relays or anything that can go bad? I tried a search, and didn't find ****. I hate asking questions

On EDIT: Sorry about *on*. I wrote the circuit for power mirrors and had to erase it. Only one fuse for power windows. 30a fuse fed by the key sw . If you take the plug off the hot wire is the BR wire and a gnd on the black. I'm gonna learn how to scan and paste diagrams someday so it'll make more sense. I think I'd just pull that sw assy and check for pwr at the BR and gnd. But I don't have to tell you that. Hey, whats wrong with using a breakover bar and starter sw to loosen the crank nut?????? Those arm and finger bones will heal in no time atall.

Typically this is caused by a bad window switch. When you say they look good.. did you take them apart and look inside them?
Don.

Seems like a key question would be *does the passenger side switch work?* Just rhetorical. No answer please.

Take your switch apart. Here are my pics

Just take it apart, sand all the contacts, and put it back together.
Don't worry, it only goes together one way

They both quit working *at the same time* with no blown fuse. It seems kinda odd. I have bigger **** to deal with on the car right now, I'll mess with the windows later

No realys on the windows. You might want to check your switches, connections and anything else easily accesible by an idiot.
