Windows Stopped Working . . . HELP !

Ok, i have a 95' E320 Coupe with 220,000 miles and my windows and sunroof just stopped working a few days ago out of the blue

I checked all of my fuses, they are fine and i asked the guy that normally works on my car over the phone what he thinks it is and he said most likely a relay so i would like to know if anyone has a DIY for replacing the relay or at least a diagram of where the relay(s) are located and a part number or name of the relay i need OR if anyone can think of something else that might be causing the problem it would be appreciated, my AC Compressor died about 2 months ago so right now i am stuck driving in a sauna on wheels

Here is what is going on:

I parked my car , got out and held the key in the lock position to lock my doors and automatically roll up the windows, everything worked fine

I come back to the car bout 3 hours later, get in and hit the switch to roll down the windows and nothing . . . so hit every other switch in the car even the 2 in the back and still nothing, tried to open the sunroof, also nothing then i get out of the car and hold the key in the unlocked position to automatically roll down my windows and once again, nothing

I checked my fuses, they are all fine and there is nothing else in the car that is not working just the windows and sunroof

So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Do you still have stock fuses? How well did you check them. I dont mean to assume youre incompetent, but the stock fuses many of the times look intact when theyre really broken. My windows did the same thing last week, but luckily I knew what to look for with the fuse situation, and that fixed it. Check the lid and see which one controls the windows. I dont remember exactly which one it is, sorry. Hopefully thats all it is.

This information is inconclusive and needs revision with solution and update

Sorry, i hought i posted mysolution

I was the relay

It cost me about $60 if i remember correctly

There are actually 2 Relays that are identical, the first i replaced wasn't the bad one so i switched them and vuala

The relays are located under h main fuse box, you have to unscrew it and lift it up
