1995 Chevy Silverado Pickup Power Window Relays?

[Capt._Chaos]

I've been having an intermittent problem with my '95 Chevy Silverado pickup's drivers side window not going down once in awhile. I have replaced the power window switch twice now and still haev the same problem.

Now I think it's a bad relay with worn contacts causing this problem, but I don't know where the power window relays are located.

Has anyone else had to deal with this problem before and know where the power window relays are located?

I'm getting a GMC pickup truck in August and want to get this nagging problem fixed before I give the Chevy to my Dad.

Thanks!

Did you ever get this problem figured out.

I tired doing some research on this for you and it looks like Chevy put those relays everywhere, just varied from year to year and a bit from specific model to model. Sadly I could not find anything specific for your make, model and year.

Anyway here is I came up with for possible locations:

In a power junction box located behind the glove box.
Integrated into the switch.
Integrated into the motor.
In the fuse box under the drivers side dash.


For what its worth I was having a similar problem with my passenger side power mirror. When I got the truck it did not seem to work at all so I put in a new switch. At that point it only worked part of the time. As I was trying to figure out what was going on I discovered the way the wiring plug was designed allowed just enough travel for the plug so when you put it back into the door pocket it was possible for it to become slightly askew. Just enough to break contact. At times it would get contact while pushing on the switch to use it, other times not. After taking it out and putting it back in, making sure the plug stayed tight, no more problem.

Check the I/P fuse block. According to my Hayne's manual, that's where it's at.

Had the passenger window switch go bad when my son and I took the truck to Arkansas a few years ago. Did a temporary fix by using the 'door lock' switch from the same door.

New switch was about $35 when we got back home.

My Dad went out & bought a Chilton repair manual for what will soon be his pickup when I sign the title over to him next month.

What's funny is my Mom & I are placing bets on whether or not he will be able to fix the problem himself before I get home- and without some kind of cheesy "redneck rigging" taking place to save a few bucks. I may still end up fixing this problem myself! :rofl:

I thought you was a "Certified Mechanic" Jeff? You should give your Dad the New truck as you are never home to drive it anyways.

I asked my shop guy and he said it may be under the hood in the main relay fuse distribution center.
