Unhappy Power Mirrors not working

I have 1997 F150XLT. My power windows are not working. I checked the fuse, it looks ok. Any ideas.

Remove the switch and check the wires for current with a multi-meter. If none of the windows are working, it's more likely the switch than the motors. If there is no power to the switch, then trace the wires back to find the problem.

Did you check the passenger side switch to see if it operates the window???

Try swapping fuses of equal value. Sometimes they look ok and they're not.

Pull the switch panel out of the door and remove/reinstall the electrical connectors. May be bad connection.

As said before, trace back the wires. Follow a Haynes or Chilton service manual in the electrical wiring diagrams.
