Hello,

There are 2 relays for the front window motors located under the hood fuse box (see diagram below). Check those relays first. Visually inspect for any corrosion or burnt pin(s).
You can also test the relays:

If the relays are good, you will need to check to see if you are getting power to the window motors. This will require taking off the inside door panel to access the wires. If you have power to the connector then the motor is likely bad.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
