But did you test the switch? Might be the relay, but check the switch as well.

Just because the switch rocks back and forth and all the wires are hooked up does not mean that the contacts inside are working as they should. Get a test light and check.

Well honestly I'm not familiar with that wiring diagram but it would be a good idea to get it. Find out if their is even a relay for it.. usually a window motor works by changing the polarity on it. So the position of the switch acts like a relay.. since u tested the component and went well test the switch and the switch tests good then chase the wires. But believe me if you get the wire diagram it will help out alott!

For future reference, there isn't a relay. Power from the fuse box, to the switch...to the motor. That's it.
