Default 04 power windows not working

About a year ago replaced the switch on drivers side. Both windows worked till about a week ago. This time the switch on drivers side and pass side no longer work either window.

Is there a fuse for the power windows? I looked on both sides of dash and couldnt find any.

Would the switch on drivers side going completely out cause the pass side one to stop working too? Didnt last time.

im pretty sure it would be in one of the two door fuse blocks. probably close to the power mirror fuse (probably a 2 or 5 amp fuse)...i seriously doubt it would be in the underhood fuse block but you could try looking there as well.

The switch going out wouldnt cause both to quit working, considering its just an input for that particular side.

I would bet its the fuse, once you find it...but it could also be a window actuator, or something in the wiring, but those two are a little more unlikely

I checked all 3 fuse blocks. Under hood, left and right sides of dash. Nothing for power window fuse.

that is really odd...and theres no place on the diagrams that state theres a position for one?

Other possibilities could be the window regulator has blown. The regulator tells the window when its at the top and bottom of the track. Also the motor that moves it up and down could be burnt out. But i seriously doubt thats the case considering both sides are non-functional....

This one's a thinker...

Just to update.

I was waiting on new PW switch and mirror switch (being I broke mirror switch last time putting in PW switch).

Any how had everything off to pull door panel and thought to myself. Why not check to see if the PW switch has a short or loose connection. So I reached my hand in there and found the wire connection had came out of switch. Plugged it back in and had power to all wires and all 3 switches work again. Both on drivers and passenger door.

Told the wife I'm just going to hold onto the mirror switch and other new switch for now and not pull the door panel off. Being we both drive with mirrors in same local.
