1997 Dodge Stratus. Power windows wont work. Checked all the fuses and they are ok. Had dealership reset ECU and they still dont work. Could it be a relay? If so, which one and where?

Check for voltage at power window relay, goes hot when you turn on the key. #19 in the diagram. Interior fuse box.

You must be familiar with this car. That is exactly what I thought. What are the chances of just the relay goin bad? It's a medium sized 2 prong silver capacitor looking thing.

I looked up your vehicle info in our database. Using a voltage tester and checking for voltage at the relay, key on, is what I do first. I haven't seen very many faulty relays, hardly any.

If there is no power at the relay (meter doesn't read any voltage), what would cause that?

That is ignition feed, comes from ignition switch. I'd have to check feed to and from the ignition switch.

I have a 2000 dodge stratus but all 4 of the windows have stopped working. The Sunroof still works and they are on the same relay in the fuse box so im assuming its not that. Theres also no light at the 4 switches on the door. Help please its about to be summer.

As far as the windows, get at the wiring harness, hinge side of driver door. Use a voltage tester, find the tan wire, see if it is hot/voltage. If it is, check black wire for ground. Sometimes because the driver door opens and shuts so much, it can cause the wires to break.
