my power windows just randomly stopped working the power for the locks still works but the windows stop working on both sides i was able to trace the wiring from the drivers door to a little relay section under the MAF and intake box but there is no cover on the relays and I don't know if the car came with one but long story short idk what color is what does anybody else have an idea or knows?

Checked out my fsm; no specific info anywhere on the power windows. Traced the schematic; no relay that I could see but it does show a fusible link listed by the battery. I also don't see a specific fuse listed in the fuse box, so I'll bet the fusible link is the problem.

The four fusible links are the wire loops sitting next to your red battery terminal. Checked mine, none are labeled specifically for the windows, but check all with a meter.

Just played with mine. The one for the windows is green and sits in the number 3 position working from the passenger fender to the radiator.  Mine has a black plastic cover. That one is labeled access. radiator fan. If that's not it, there's also a circuit breaker hiding under your flasher unit by the steering column. No idea how that works; don't see any reset button on mine. Hope it's the fusible link.

hey I pulled off that plug on the battery terminal and it was pretty corroded I cleaned it with some brake cleaner and plugged it back up worked like magic thanks man I don't think I would have found that on my own with no schematics I just have a bad feeling that there will be more of this being an Illinois car.

Sorry guys, I need to attack my driver side power window this week and have a few questions...

If the fusible link is corroded, would that prevent BOTH windows from operating (or just one)?

If the circuit breaker near the flasher is popped, would that prevent BOTH windows from operating (or just one)?

Since the passenger window and door locks work (but the driver side window does not) can I assume the fusible link and the circuit breaker are OK?

Would anybody be willing to post a picture of the power window fusible link as well as the circuit breaker that's near the flasher?


Many thanks,

Mike

If just one window not working, I would check out the switvch or motor on that side. I believe the fusible links work both windows.
