Post Power window / sunroof Relay?

I went to roll down my slow working driver's side power window yesterday and it just wouldn't come down at all. I then tried the sunroof and it stopped working too? Then noticed the passenger window did not work either. Is this a relay connection or a fuse? Is it located in the front trunk? ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Pull the fuse box cover,on my 911SC the first fuse closest to the windshield in the fuseblock is the one for the power windows.My windows stopped working the other day,it turned out that when I was checking the fuses I knocked that one out,put it back in and everything works. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

It could also be the power window relay has gone bad.

You don't say what year and model your car. Try to add this in the future, it makes it easier to help.

If it is an SC or Carrera ( possibly other years), you can test the relay by removing the horn relay, and placing the suspect relay in its place. If the horn works, it's not the relay. If the horn doesn't work, than there is your problem. And when the little buggers go, they don't give any warning.

My power window relay went out overnight once.

Yep found it...it was a fuse....but to look at the fuse it looked fine...no warping or anything. Then once you went to remove the fuse the fuse had melted at the top where it joins the fuse block. Basically the top of the fuse blew out. Replaced with new fuse and all was fine.

Thanks for your help!
