window relay

Hello, my driver's side window got stuck down. We were able to raise it back up. Now, the motor works so they think it's the relay but we weren't able to find the relay. Does anyone know where it is? And maybe what size it is? Thank you.

Model year would help.
If it was a failed relay, none of the windows would work.
I would start looking at the switch, motor and associated wiring

Re: window relay

sorry its a 99.. I have no clue about cars. we are in the military and overseas. I was at the auto skills center where they have mechanics. Where would we look exactly? We looked at the fuses in the side panel by the door and they were good. Thank you

Re: window relay

No relay there. It is a high current ignition switch and power window switches handle the motor current directly. So if when this happened it only affected one window then problem is either window switch, motor or wiring - no relay.

The fuse for windows is on a circuit breaker.

Re: window relay

Heh yeah- had the same thing. Was at a drive through and the window stuck down. In the middle of winter. Wasn't sure what caused it so I spent a lot of time with the door panel apart. Anyway, finally took the window switch apart and cleaned it out. Problem solved. My forehead hurt for awhile after though. If only.... ugh. Even though I cleaned it and put in dielectric grease, the problem did pop up again. So I wonder if just replacing the dang thing is the way to go?
