HI guys well just baught this car and can tell previous owner had this problem because they tore up the interior pulling wires from everyware. I speculate bad relay(s) but just for second opinions before I start spending money thought I'd ask you guys. The power windows throught-out the van along with the power locks are not functioning at all. None of the motors (windows/Locks) are working which is why I'm thinking relay(s) because they are all non-functional.

Where do I need to look in order to find the relays to the two circuits or are they combined circuits.

Everything else works fine.

Well I took the doors apart and inspected the power window switches and found out that the switches were all burned out. The motors were fine on both doors. The both switches must be replaced. I found out that this is a common problem for alot of astro vans that were made over a decades time.

I have not had a chance to look at the door lock motors yet but I noticed that on the passenger side when I hit the botton in anattemp to make the doors unlock I can here a clicking sound comming from behindthe dash as I hit the botton.

Thought I'd just check back. Let ya no how the locks go when Iget to them
