my drivers side window stopped working???
my motor seems to work (i tested it with a multimeter and got resistance). I thought it could be the relay because the switch works but does it have two relays (one for each window) and how do i test it?
Its hot and i like driving with the windows down...... please help?

If your 74 is the same as my 77 then there is only one power window relay which sits in the center console. Some basic things to check the connector which goes into the motor one wire is for window up and the other wire is for window down. and the motor gets its ground thru the door frame. With your voltmeter check for voltage to one side of the connector using the door frame as your ground. You will have volts to either side of the connector depending on switch position with the ignition switch on.

Probably the switch. Usually the driver's side fails first because it gets used more.
When you're under the ebrake console, plug passenger's harness into the driver's side switch and try it.
