Hello, I have a 1997 sts. About a week ago my power windows started to hesitate. This was all 4 windows as well as the sun roof. Now none will go up or down. I checked the fuses in the trunk as well as the one's under the hood. All seem fine. Is there a relay or something else that may cause this? Thanks, Keith

At the hinge side of driver door, check the wiring harness. Pink wire is voltage, use a voltage tester, for power windows, black wire is ground.

Note the diagram. Remove power window circuit breaker, one leg should be hot all the time, use voltage tester.
