Default RE: Power windows not working

I will try again, a relay has four pins, two for the magnetic coil and two for the switch that sends power to the power window in this case. By the repair manual, you hot wire the coil and check the switch for continuity, this is done with the relay out of the car.

I said, skip that test until after you pull the relay out of the car, figure out which two teminals in the relay socket on the car are for the switch, one of them should be hot, so just jumper the hot side of the switch to the cold side of the switch and you have power to the power window in this case.

If the power window was to start working, THEN test the relay as per the repair manual to prove if it is (probably) working, this test is not 100% but fairly reliable.

Don't forget to check the connections and make sure they are still snug.

Default Wiper trick worked for me

I got somewhat confused with post so here is the solution step by step

1. Put the wiper intermittent to middle (taper one).
2. Put the wiper to intermittent setting (wiper has 3 settings int, I and II).
3. Put the key now in ignition and start the car.
4. At this time wiper will start working, let them run for few seconds (10-20 seconds).
5. Stop the car, by removing the key from ignition, bring back the wipers to off position.
6. Restart the car and power windows and mirror should be functional.

One additional thing is that there is on/off switch near the mirror setting, make sure it is on. This applies only for power mirror to be functional.
