El windows not working

[audi660]

My el windows have stopped working on all of the doors. All fuses are working. Do the el windows run through a relay? If so, where is the relay located. It's a 1997 urs6

On the s2 there is a big rectangular relay that controls the windows and sunroof. Its quite common for it to have cracks in the solder joints. There is also a thermal fuse. Is it very hot and sunny there at the moment?

Thermal fuses are good, even swapped them out for normal fuses. Yes it's pretty hot and rainy here

Windows started working again last night ? Confused why they stopped working for a few days ?

Dry, inconsistent joint on the relay PCB, almost certainly.

Check the wires in the door hinge.

Where is this as I’d like to check mine as a preventative action?

Under the dash in the relay carrier, it's a double wide one.

Number 287?
