Hello, all my power windows do not go up or down from the drivers door switch and every other doors switches, The first step I took was buying a new relay and that still did not fix my problem, my next step was grabbing a multi meter and testing the driver doors harnesses and switches. Everything was getting the right amount of power. The next step I took was to pull the drivers window motor out and hooking it up straight to my battery to see if it gets any power and it did. So basically I been calling every Autozone, O'Riley's and reading ever thread regarding my problem and no one or nothing has seemed to help my problem. If someone can please help me I will really appreciate it thank you.

I would not go to an auto parts for repair advice they do not do repairs. Have you checked fuses and circuit breakers? It also may be accessory relay that is internal to body module, so have a mechanic scan for codes. The fuse may be bad as well.

Thank you for the reply, I have not checked fuse or circuit breakers yet, but I will, and I also have not checked internal relays. I will have a mechanic look at it and run some codes. I will get back to you as soon as I do and let you know my outcome, Thank you!

Yes, but there is one inside body module which I am sure is internal and it requires replacement of body module.

You cannot replace the body module as a dealer has to program it to your car if you do replace it not much will work.
