Windows intermitently won't work
Sometimes my windows decide they will not roll up or down. This especially sucks like today when they're all down and won't roll up. Usually when this happens they all quit working up and down and they'll start working again in severa' hours or tomarrow. Could this be the realy under the seat going bad? What else could it be, the fuses are good and it will start working again but it's really annoying. Please help.
Good thing it doesn't look like rain today

It sounds like a loose connection to the window switches in the driver door. If you unplug it none of the windows will work.

Nope, checked switches, they're plugged in firmly.
Update: I still have this problem intermittently. Whenever the windows aren't working, the sun roof and power seat won't work either. I went hunting for the window/sunroof/power seat fuse only to find that there is none listed in the manual. Does that crazy relay under the seat handle the sunroof and power seat too?

I have the same problem in my '92 (except the power seat is not offected by this) but when my windows get stuck theres a weird buzzing noise that comes from inside the door (im guessing its a relay) but im not quite sure. Any help on how to fix this is appreciated.

It's not a fuse if the problem is intermittent. Does it seem to be weather related? (Is it worse when it rains?)

I used to think mine was weather related but for awhile down here it had been dry and it would still happen on occation.

There is a relay under the carpet beneath the drivers seat that controls all three of those items. It has a tendency to get a little rusty with age causing a bad ground, which in turn is probably causing your intermittent problem(s). Dave

Nope, no buzzing or lights going out, just comlpletely silent and unmoving windows and seat.

Check to see if any of your lights are going out.
Check your brake lights. Check if the stop lamp indicator comes on intermittently.
