power window gremlins

This is kinda strange but .... do these power windows work on some sort of a circut? like if one motor is fried the others wont work? and keeps the relay keyed up when the relay is pluged in "causing dead battery syndrome" and a really really hot relay

I've also noticed on the console switch for the drivers side theres no power getting to the switch where do these wires go from the switch when they dissappear under the dash i've tried running them down but have no luck they just get sucked up into the mothership tube.... ugh
I love my car but i tell ya if it isnt one thing it's another
