Three of my power windows stopped working with all the switches (1993 4Runner). I'm suspecting a fuse or a relay, but everything I've looked at checks out. Looking for any help thanks..

I assume that the driver side window is on a different circuit from the passenger widows because the three passenger windows stopped working suddenly, but the driver window still works fine. I have tried, but have not located the fuse or relay that operates the three passenger windows. The rear Window is not affected.

SOURCE: 1990 camry power window problem

It is rare that the power window relay will fail. Personally, I would look to see if there is power at the master switch on the driver's door. Anywhere. If the is NO POWER, you have a broken wire between the door & the LF kick panel where the wires come thru the body into the door shell. If there is power, the master switch is narmally the culprit

SOURCE: Camry 1996 automatic power lock doen't work, but windows work.

if you can here relays when unlocking/locking check for power at door lock actuators inside doors, if you have power on lock/unlock and good earth from connector actuators are faulty.
if no power on test light when operating check output from central door lock module while operating, none coming out of module then it might need replacing.
check 30Amp power fuse for main relay under bonnet (which goes to pin 8 white/blue on module)and 10Amp gauge fuse in cab(pin 1 blue/red on module),pin 15 is also power when relay is on(red/blue) with test light, and module/ actuators.
check outputs from module pin 3 & 4
blue/red
blue/black
that go to door locks

SOURCE: rear window and passenger windows will not

The last couple of times I have seen this complaint, the "Lock" button on the master (driver's door) switch had been depressed. Unlatching the lock button (pushing it again) solved the problem. On most cars, when the lock button is depressed, the windows can still be operated by the driver, but prevent the windows from being operated by the passengers. Toyota is different. If the lock button is depressed, nobody, including the driver can work the wndows.

My 96 Toyota Camrys windows don't go down or the

You need to see a wiring diagram to see how the ignition switch allows or sends power to that 30 amp fuse. The switch may turn on a relay (maybe the ignition relay) that sends power to the fuse panel. Or the run wire out of the switch may itself turn power on at the fuses. You may have a loose connection behind the fuse panel.
Get a test light, pull the fuse, and check for power at the fuse terminals, with key on. One terminal for the fuse should have power. If not, power is lost between the ignition switch and that fuse. If it does have power, and windows still don't work, check the wire from fuse panel to the master switch-loose or poor connections, maybe a partially broken wire. If it looks good, check the ground wire for the windows. The ground wire originates at the master switch and will go back into the cabin to a nearby ground, possibly behind the left kick panel. If still no help, someone may need a volt- ohmmeter to start checking continuity of wires, voltage drops, etc.

THE TURN LIGHT RIGHT BACK NOT WORK

If one tail light works, it's not the fuse box. It's either a ground wire off on that side , or a wire chafed along the curcuit. Your fuse for parking lights is for all four. If you have three, it's definately not the fuse box. You did not say what type of vehicle you have or I could have told you the best places to look for a ground wire. And I'd like to know if signal, brake, and reverse lights on that same side work at all. Let me know what your car is and we'll go from there. Please rate this solution thanks

IS 200 wont start, no dash lights, no radio,

You should have power to the dash if the key switch is working.
The main fuse would kill everything in the car.
Depending on how it happened, I would check the fuses and then check for voltage at the key switch.

I have a 2006 dodge stratus my driver window is down and the other three windows will not work at all.had the auto store check the fuse that is not the problem.

Window fuse's and relay's may be up under driver or passenger side dash or behind glove box, under the hood and even under the seats, and finally on the ends of the dash. All passenger power windows and locks are controlled thru and get power from the master control switch on the drivers door.

Drivers door window gets used the most so it could be the motor, window switch, relay or fuse.
Could also be a broken wire in the rubber boot going from the door to the body. You will have to eliminate each till you find the culprit. Check that all switches return to neutral when released.
The motor and the relay are the most likely to cause this problem. Try swapping the relay with a working window relay. If it still doesn't work, remove the door panel and remove the window motor.
Turn the motor shaft in both directions by hand several turns. Then plug the motor in and see if the switch will now run the motor. Sometimes that's all it takes to get it working again. I have had to do this with brand new motors. If voltage is not present at the motor connector, either a bad switch or a broken wire exists. Make sure to check for voltage coming to that windows switch. Actually, GM use's a circuit breaker type relay for each window and one fuse for all the circuit breakers.

Try this....
Open the door, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine and everything that makes noise is off. Lean down placing your ears close to the bottom center of the door or at the speaker grill. Press the window switch UP and DOWN. Listen for the window motor. If heard the drive is damaged. If not heard, turn key off and locate and replace the relay with one of the other window relays. Check window again. If it works now, get a new relay. More often than not, removing the motor and turning it by hand will get it working good as new. I have had to do that with Brand New motors! So try it.
If all has failed, with the door panel still off, check for voltage at the motor connector when pushing the window switch. No voltage means its the switch, especially if its a auto down or up switch.

Check the master window control panel on the driver's door. There is probably a lockout switch. It may have a window outline on one end and the same outline with an "X" over it on the other. Press the outline without the "X" and all your windows should work again. As silly as that sounds, a lot people hit that switch without knowing it. Also, if that switch(lockout) is faulty, none of the windows will work. That happens A LOT!!

I have a 2003 hyundai sonata the power windows stopped working, I have changed the fuses and checked the child lock safty..nothing works what else could it be

Dear kaydynandtri, If you have the owner's manual find the power window relay. They are usually located in the fuse box. Check to see if there is another relay that matches that one and switch places with them. If the windows work or the accessory the relay came from does not the relay is bad. If this does not work I would replace the driver's door power window switch. I have also seen the wire break on older cars where it goes into front of driver's door.
