Default C5 Power window issue

My C5 power windows, driver and passenger, quit working at the same time. All other door panel functions work fine. Fortunately both windows are up. I can hear relays click in both doors when the respective buttons are pushed. I can't find any CBs of fuses that point me to window operation. Need help in trouble shooting this problem. Oh, I might add that I tried slamming doors several times...that didn't help and I felt kinda dumb doing that. Like, get a bigger hammer.

Take a look at this thread...

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...l-removal.html

I was looking for door panel removal tips and members also had some tips on window issues.
Hope this helps.

There must be a clue when they both stopped working at exactly the same time. Before I started ripping the car apart, I would seek a man of C5 wisdom.

Default C5 Power Window issue

Thanks to those who replied to my post. I guess the Vette gods were at work after I posted. This morning as I was driving to coffee I thought I would test the windows again and wouldn't you know it...they both worked. Up and down several times, to and from my destination.
During my search for answers I DID read that this can happen. So for right now...If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Door module relay stuck? If so, maybe slammin the door worked after all. I'm sure this will recur at a later date. Until then...thanks for responding.

Sometimes these cars are an enigma wrapped in a riddle.
