Default 79 Power window problem

Window went down but will not go up. there is power getting to the motors. I thought it was odd that both would stop working at the same time. any ideas

Sounds like a fuse but the C3 group might have a better idea.

The power or voltage must make a round trip. Must have a ground to complete the circuit. Have you looked into this?

check:

1. if weather stips force glass to prevent up movement
2. check switches condition
3. check wiring and for loose grounds
4. check for loose connections
