Default Stupid question about windows..UPDATE

By any chance are the fuses for the power windows split for the left side and right side? I haven't even checked them yet which is why I am throwing it out there...but both my passenger side windows do not go down. It'* been that way since Saturday. I just fixed one problem this weekend and now another one follows...

I'm thinking this must be a simple problem...

Closest diagram I found is for a 94 SSE. It shows all windows protected by the same 30 amp circuit breaker.

Edit - Did you try using the switches on each of the passenger side doors. Do all the switches feel like they're returning to the center position?

I figured it was one fuse. It'* weird why the two right ones do not work now The passenger rear window didn't work one day a long time ago, but it started working again a day later. Never had a problem again until Saturday, now both do not work

I guess it'* not a big deal. Still frustrating though.

Just want to make sure you saw that I edited my post. See if all the window switches are returning to the center position.

I'll try that tomorrow. I was going to try the other switches on the way home from work but traffic was hell and I got distracted. If they do not return to center what should I do? ( I do know that the switches on the driver'* switch panel all return to center)

Pete..pull you drivers master swtich and clean the contacts on the bottom. Most likely that'* the issue. Could also be the two switches in each door.

Checked this AM, all switches return to center, and when I hit the switches to move the windows down I can hear a slight 'tap' or 'click' from the doors. Still just a bad connection?

No...it'* more work now..the click would be the relay under the dash.. Do you think the motors are trying to work?

I didn't see your earlier post saying to clean the master switch connectors...but yeah, I hear a faint click which would normally lead me to believe the switch is fine. :? I don't remember if I heard the click from the switches on those two doors though, just the master. The motors better not be dead...if this was my driver'* window I swear I'd break the damn thing out of spite.
