Where are my window relays? 86' sr5 x-cab turbo truck
Title says it, i've got a 1986 turbo sr5 x-cab truck and neither of my power windows work. I know the switch is good, I know the fuses are good, I know the motors are good. Where are the relays? I found the circuit breaker on the back of the driverside fuse box, but I can't find the relays. Any help is appreciated. (I thought they were above the ECU but I only found the wiper relay box)

K I found it right to the left of the lower side of the steering column. It has the same omron relays that I read about in the common 4-runner rear window failures. Its plausible these fail the same way right? Imma try to get my hands on some.

Listen for the relays clicking when you operate the window switches. If they click and nothing happens, then the relay is likely bad (dirty contacts). But if the relays do not click (you may need to put a finger on them to feel for a click if it is not loud enoigh), then it could be the switches are out (or the relay coils themselves are burned out).
