I have a 2000 chevy s10 2wd. Where is the relay switch to my drivers side window. The window switch is and the motor is good. But cant find the relay switch to check it and see if it's bad.

Sorry but there is no relay switch ! Go to www.bbbind.com free wiring diagrams .Check it out ! Your regulator is probably bad ! Is there B+ voltage at the switch , at the motor ?
Left Front Window Switch Operation
Place the ignition switch in the RUN position in order to supply battery voltage to the left front door lock and side window switch through the POWER WINDOW circuit breaker and the CKT 1001 (DK GRN). Press the left front window UP switch in order to supply battery voltage to the left front side window regulator motor through CKT 164 (DK BLU). The window motor is grounded through CKT 165 (BRN) and the window switch DOWN contact.
The regulator motor runs to drive the window to the UP position. Press the DOWN window switch in order to provide battery voltage to the window regulator motor in the opposite direction through CKT 165 (BRN). The window regulator motor is grounded through the CKT 164 (DK BLU) and the window switch UP contact. The motor runs in order to drive the window down.

Passenger electric window will go down but not up

The master switch is the one located on the drivers side. If this switch has a malfunction it can rob power from the passenger side causing the problem you have. If the regulator/motor are in working order and you know the passenger switch is ok then that could be the problem. Another couple of possible problems could be a broken wire in the harness traveling from the car to the door (inside the rubber protective boot or a weak window motor (1990 is pretty old for a motor of that type.

Drivers window will go down but not up

It may be that it is not on the track properly or your power window motor is old and tierd and can take the window down but it doesn't have the juice in it any more to bring it back up. replace the motor and it will work. This problem happened to me in my '76 ford ltd and a new motor fixed it.

1990 buick centruty, driver door schematic (window regulator)

The first thing you need to do before buying any parts is to remove the door panel and find out exactly what is wrong, the motor is a gear reduction unit and even if the motor works it may still not drive the output gear. The door panel is held on by screws and hidden clips, pop off any panels or light fixtures on the door trim, under those you will find the hidden retainer screws, then gently pull door panel at edges to disengage feather style snaps.
