I searched a handful of threads but couldn't find anything for my problem...

My power windows stopped working a couple days ago rather suddenly. I already checked the PW fuse, even tried replacing it, but still nothing. Neither the DS or PS switches work. The windows were a little sluggish before, but worked fine. My power locks and everything else appears to be working. Is there a secret fuse I'm not seeing? My battery has plenty of charge...
 
Mine gets slow about once a year. Rather than pull and clean the motors, I lube up the window tracks with WD40. Passenger side seems to be the worse, have to hit it with lube every 3-4months. Try helping the window up/down with your hand and see if they will start working. Seems strange that both sides quit at the same time.
 
I already tried helping them move down but no luck. When I listen I don't even hear the motors trying.

Is there a relay for them?
 
Ahaaaahhhh! Found it, and the previous owner had done this already, but with a piece of wire with frayed ends shoved into the connections instea of spades, which had came loose. Pretty much on par with the rest of the half assed electrical work i've had to fix in this thing. Windows work again!
 
i had this problem all it took was to take the door panel off and grease the motor. try that i used white grease and it wokrked dont know if thats what u should use but it worked.
