Default Help! Power windows won't roll up!

The power windows on my 78' have been down most of the Summer... but things are cooling off now and when I went to roll em up yesterday... No go!
I replaced the power window relay with a new one... but still no dice. All the fuses and connections seem O.K. Is there something in the door I'm overlooking (switch, relay, fuseable link???) Also if one side goes out will it affect both windows? Thanks.

with the engine and the radio off, try rolling up the window, and listen to the door for a small clicking sound, my car had some junk stuck in there and wouldn't roll down.

I'm not sure what your problem is but I do have the wiring diagrams for a 78 on my website at www.corvetteforum.net/c3/tunedport78
