You have to look on the 'frontside' (front of the car) of the fusebox, by drivers left knee. On the 'backside' which you normally look at, are the fuses.
 
On the frontside, are some connectors and some relays. Get down on your back under the dash. The integration relay is on the bottom, and then there are three relays right above the integration relay. The power relay, is the one on the left.
 
Power feeds for the window control circuitry are:
-25A door
-10A Gauge
-30A Power
and the integration relay is involved, turning on the power relay, which then allows the 30A fuse to supply it's power to the door switchs.

Two fuses power the window circuitry:
- 30A Power
- 10A Gauge

SHOCKING.....
 
Sorry, but a person can get shocked, not seriously, but SHOCKED just the same, using your procedure. Not by the battery voltage but by the "kick-back" from the motor inductance as/when you open the circuit.

I've arc welded wrenches by mistake, personally....I'm not grabbing any battery terminals. It may not be high voltage, but it can delivery a LOT of amps.

You are a wealth of knowledge. When you said "it's on the left", I hope you meant the passenger side. I just got it out. You really need to be a double jointed ambidextrous midget to get down there but I did get the one on the passenger side out. I hope this is it. I plan to bench test it now.
 
By the way, the door locks are working

Yes, the passenger side
 
Great, you are going to test it. Let me give you the info.
 
The pins are arranged in a T configuration, T rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise from how it normally prints, which is how you took it out of the socket.
 
Pin 1 is the + of the primary coil, which turns on the relay.
Pin 2 is the Grnd of the primary coil.
Pin 5 and 3 are the secondary points. Pin 5 is connected to the output of the 30A fuse, and Pin 3 is connected to the window switches.
 
1
## 5 ## 3
2
 
In case you don't know, when relay is engergized, there should be zero resistance from 5 to 3. When relay un-energized, should be infinite resistance 5 to 3.

Kiawah,
 
Thanks again. The relay bench tested OK. There was zero resistance when the coil was energized. Additionally, since all 3 relays were the same, I rotated them all. Windows still don't work. As I said before the electric door locks are working, so any device that is common to both systems can be ruled out.
 
I measured the voltage on the connector to the Master window switch. There is no voltage on pins 10 or 11 on the connector which, from my interpretation of the electrical schematics provides power to the Master window door switch for the windows (the ignition was on). Any further help you can give me would be appreciated.

Okay.
 
Since the Door locks are working, then the 25A Door fuse and 10A Gauge fuse are undoubtedly okay. At this point, i would suspect the integration relay is bad. But verify that your door courtesy switches (Front Left door, front right door) are working.

Kiawah,
 
One more thing. Although I tested all the fuses before I went back to double checkthe three specific ones you mentioned. I clearly found 2 of them and they tested OK. The only one I am a little unsure of is the 30 A power fuse you spoke of. I only found one 30 A fuse in the whole car, in the drivers side fuse box in the engine compartment. It wasn't clearly labelled but it tested OK.
 
However, my schematic (from a chiltons manual for this car) represents this device with a unique symbol. Could this be a circuit breaker? If so where is it located? If not is the 30 A fuse you referred to in the drivers side fuse box in the engine compartment?
 
Thanks again for all the free advice.

The dome light illuminates when the doors are opened if the dome light switch is set to the proper position
