Windows On '87 300td Will Not Go Down!!

The windows on my '87 300TD will not go down. I have replaced the lock-out switch and the fuses, nothing seems to help. I am desperate!!Any suggestions?

What about relays? I am not sure if they have one for the power windows If they Do and it's not a stand alone relay, it might be wired into the sunroof relay, I have seen this on another car before, might not help here though. Good luck!!

Where was the relay located on this other car? Thanks for your help.

Somewhat typical for window motors to fail.

Motor/regulators available on eBay.

I've replaced two on my '88. There were no problems other than bad motor, i.e. checking fuses, etc. is likely wishful thinking.

How likely is it that all four window motors would fail at once?

Would all four window switches go at once? I replaced the lock-out switch because the windows stopped working right after I used the lock-out switch. I have also replaced the switches. Where is the relay located?
