Where is the power window relay located? I've looked on the engine firewall and don't see (recognize?) It.

I searched the left inner fender and there is no relay mounting. Have you another suggestion?

As crazy as this sounds, I have found the power window relay under the drivers seat, do you have power seats, alotta times GM will mount it there and tie in the 12v power supply to the power seat circuit. Let me know if this helps

I stopped being a tech in November 08, I got bored with workin flatrate in 02, I went to a bodyshop and was a Mech/assembler, then I tore my r/rotator cuff, had surgery, went back to work and 4 months later broke my l/elbow on an 01 VW jetta VR6 and ruptured the disc in my lower back, Dr said I can go back to work as long as I'm not a auto tech anymore. My mom had a 75 Electra 225, it had some issues, that was one it had.I have a 1969 Impala Custom 427cu. In. 390hp with a worked Powerglide, and 373 posi, I built it from the ground up. The rear Lic. Plate frame says" REAL MEN BUILD THEIR OWN CARS". I have worked on cars since 1971, dealers since 1975.
