Default Power window problem

Power windows stopped working after an accidental arc while changing fuses. I replaced the breaker in the fuse block and the relay. Getting power to the relay, but not the switches. Any ideas?

Doesn't the window switch power the relay?

Did you make sure to mount the relay back to a metal source? The negative side of the coil inside the factory relay gets its ground through the relay housing itself.
