My power windows dont always work. Power them down and wont be able to power back up. Seems to be worse in warm weather. I have trie another switch, same thing happens. This is the main switch for the truck, controls everything in the truck, from the drivers door. Is my problem the relay or maybe a short somewhere. Thanks

I would remove the door panel when it isn't working to check to see if there is power to the motor. If there is, chances are the motor is going bad.
