Power windows quit...
#2
Do ANY of the window switches work?
If the others work it's the switch or wiring. Maybe that's the wrong fuse? Fuse #36 under the hood, also the window RetainedAccessoryPower fuse #17 in the BCM fuse box (pass side, console). Also, the ground under the driver seat. There is also the RAP relay, on the BCM (I think).
If you need an Owners Manual, see the link in my sig.

None of the window switches is operational.
I'll look at the ground under the seat tomorrow, but I don't expect that to be an issue as nothing has been disturbed in that area. Can you point me to something that shows the location of the ground and what it looks like?
I've recently had the battery replaced and a new clutch kit and flywheel installed - but the windows worked for weeks afterward so I don't expect the repairs to be the cause of the issue.
I guess I should invest in a GM repair manual...

To add to this, I have an intermittent (mostly constant) unusable rear passenger side window... switch doesn't work on front or rear.. sometimes it will, has to be a blue moon though. Usually seems to after an oil change at the dealership.

I'm getting too old for this - I feel like I'd rather pay someone to find and fix it while I sip on my glass of Scotch. :)

Ok, here's a follow up.
I've isolated the problem to the BCM, specifically the RAP relay. With the ignition on, I get no power to the 2A RAP power window fuse, nor the 30A power window fuse on the BCM, which are both fed by the RAP relay. I don't see the relay, so I'm guessing that it's on the back side of the module (driver side). I'm going to see if I can find some instructions on how to access the RAP relay, unless someone here can give me a pointer.
