Had issues with power window switches not making contact. Took apart and cleaned connections and when I was done they wouldn't work at all. I've checked fuses and all are good. Not sure if it has a relay or where its located. I connected direct power to power window motors and they do in fact work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

There isn't one for the power windows. The only relays related to the windows are the heated glass (front) and the rear defroster.

If the fuses are good, have you confirmed power to the switch? If there is power, something may have finally gone bad in the switch itself.

Power is supplied to the power windows via a circuit breaker on the left side of the dash. It isn't a traditional fuse. Take a look at the wiring schematic I attached. I had to break it into three parts for it to fit. It's the entire power window circuit. See if there is power at the switch (pink wire). The key will need to be in the run position. Also, check the black wire for continuity to ground. Here are a few links you may find helpful:

I actually did post a few more questions about issues I'm having with this particular van. Not sure if you can help or even view these questions but you sound like you know what your talking about. This is the first GMC van I've ever owned. Thanks again
