Power window problem

1999 Ranger X-cab XLT
The power windows on both sides quit working. THe fuse under the hood seems fine but there is no power to either switch in the doors. Any ideas? Is it likely a relay?

There are two relays in the circuit, the delay relay and the battery saver relay, any other problems?

Ken,
It turned out to be the "one touch power window relay (a $10.00 item). Apparently all the window power routes through this relay so when it went bad the circuits received no electricity. Fixed now! Thanks for your suggestions.

Bill (and Jerry), I think it's in the relay box which is located underneath/behind the driver's side instrument panel, to the right of the steering column.

I fixed one the other day... relay was in the drivers door, but this was a 92? explorer? I doubt it's in the same place on this one...

Also windows worked fine, except you had to hold the button down to lower drivers window all the way.
