You want to list the exact car that you have to make it easier.

I recently lost operation in all the windows on my SDL - just mysteriously all in one day stopped working. I jostled the fuses around and swapped the relays - not sure your car has them but mine did - there were 6 relays located in the area of the fuses. Swapping them around or maybe just getting them re-seated fixed my problem (at least for now) fingers crossed.

As previous posted noted, I would also check the fuses one by one - pull them out one by one, don't just visually inspect them... the ends may be corroded and fail to make a good connection.

Start with that - good luck -
