    Check the "lock" button that disables the windows...

    History has proven this to be the most likely cause.

    You're far from alone, WAG, but I'd bet this has happened to at least 25% of VX owners at one time or another.
    My other favorite thing to do, is to lay my keys in the cargo area, then close the door...

    Maybe it's the same thing that was causing Demon's problem, because you might also try checking the 15A CB-15 fuse. That's the one that actually supplies power to your power window relay coil. The controls getting wet could have easily caused that fuse to burn out. If CB-15 is good, you might try swapping the power window relay from your other VX to see what happens. (The power window relay is behind the kick panel in the drivers side footwell. There are three rectangular relays mounted in a row top to bottom, and the one for the power windows is on the bottom).

    There are other things that could be causing the problem, but those two are the simplest to check for the time being.

    It happened again got into the VX this morning and no power to the windows pulled out the 15A CB-15 fuse that you suggested it looked good so I stuck it back in and the windows work again so I replaced it with a new one thanks for the info the manual doesn't call for that fuse for power to the windows

    had the same sort of problems that started when it rained or was wet and the got worse and blew thw l Headlight fuse everytime i replaced it. finally figured out the wires running from one side to the other at the front had been pressed against the radiator and were melted and shorting out. replaced about 2 ft of the 4 wires and clamped to something that would hold them a safe distance from heat....good luck
    Stupid SHOULD be painful

    It was the CB-15 fuse. Replaced it and everything has worked fine, till this morning. Got up, went out to warm up the VX, we got like 14 inches of snow over the past 2 days, and no power at all. After an quick "WTF?" check, I reached forward and touched the headlights switch and, yep, being an idiot I didnt turn them off yesterday after driving my son to go sledding. Its one thing for something to go wrong on a vehicle, its another to know it is all your stupid fault! I'm gonna go grab another battery today, and when I have time this week gonna get this one charged up again and keep it in the cargo area as a spare cause this winter has been brutal. Planning on heading back to Taos to go snowboarding again soon and I figure a fully charged battery in the trunk will some good insurance for the drive.
