Power windows: It activates the internal mechanism that rolls the windows up and down.

It may be manually activated with a window crank, or electrically activated with just a switch. Cranks are always attached to the door itself, while switches may be either on the door or the central console.
If the fuse under the hood is good, then the next step is to check the power window relay. This relay is responsible for providing power to the power window switch, which in turn operates the windows. If the relay is faulty, it could cause the windows to stop working.
Additionally, you may want to check the power window switch itself. Sometimes, the switch can become damaged or worn, which can prevent the windows from working.
Another possible cause for the windows not working could be a problem with the wiring in the door. If the wiring is damaged or shorted, it can cause the windows to stop working.
@KloverYou can check for continuity using a multimeter between the relay terminals: set your multimeter to the lowest resistance setting (usually symbolized by the Greek letter omega, Ω) and touch the multimeter probes to the coil terminals of the relay. You should see a low resistance reading. If the reading is high or there is no reading at all, the relay is likely faulty.
You can also check for function by applying voltage to the coil terminals, using a 12V power source (such as a car battery or a 12V power supply). You should hear a clicking sound, indicating that the relay is switching. If you don't hear a click, the relay may be faulty.
I have same on my 2005 ford explorer, . My windows, radio, and gas Guage gave out at same time. I looked at diagram and a 60 amp j frame fuse is responsible for windows and radio, tomorrow I am replacing this fuse. Although, I'm not sure if it will fix fuel dash Guage.
Auto parts stores sell a selection of fuses that ALSO HAS A TESTER. The mini fuses have little test ports on back, so can be tested w/o removing. Also getting the right fuse panel diagram is helpful.
I got this car used. It's power windows went out along with the 4 wheel drive lights high aand low blink six times and the dome lights along with vanity mirror lights do not work. This all broke on the same day. No blown fuses. Relay tests SOUND like they are fine. I an not fIne a wiring diagram thAt will show all these systems on the same circuit. What can I do.
The power windows will not work, interior lights are not working & windshield wipers won't work. All fuses & relays have been checked. Any suggestions? Need to fix ASAP...
Bought the explorer a week ago. Had to jump start it to move it. Only blinkers and hazards were not working. Got it home and pulled battery to charge, checked fuses, then next day installed battery that was in it. When truck was fired up and running. Found that the power windows, interior overhead lights(dome), stopped working, the 4x4 hi/low range indicator light on dash is blinking+switch on dash will not do anything either, went today for another test drive and when I got back ,shut off engine, battery was dead,no start. Different battery in truck running- volt meter read 13.5. Is there a control module for these items. And do i replace alt due to low output.
