It's helpful when you say "the fuse" if you specify which one. There are three associated with the power windows. Do you mean fuses "a" and "b" that control front right\rear left and front left\rear right, respectively? I presume no, since you say "fuse" singular.
So you probably mean fuse 12. This provides power to the relay.
Yes, there's a relay. If Funola knows it's on the wheel well, I'll defer to his experience; but the electrical service manual says it's behind the cluster.
One more question: what's the key position when you're testing? The relay only closes in Run (position II) or start. ACC (position I) doesn't close the relay, so no power to the switches.
To isolate the door wiring, try applying power across pins 3 and 4 on the front switches; or pins 1 and 2 on the rear. Of course there are no rear doors on a CD, so the "mangled accordion" won't be a factor there.
