Default windows don't work

For some reason both the power windows stopped working. I have the panels apart, does anyone know which wires are supposed to have power for the windows?
98 avenger sport.

Isn't the 30A under the hood the only one? That is the one I checked anyway and actually switched it out with another which I know is good. Thats the first thing that came to mind when both windows quit working at the same time.

Thanks for the wiring schematic. So it could be the fuseable link or the relay. Where is the relay located?

So I tested everything out tonight and found out there isn't any power getting to the door. For some reason the relay isn't switching. I tested it and it switches when I bench test it but not when it is installed. There is power getting to it. That only leaves something on the other end like a ground. The blue/yellow wire must control the switching. What could be the issue with that end? It goes to the anti-theft / where ever that goes. Any suggestions??? I am pretty much stumped from this point. I tested both windows and they all work fine.

I'd try grounding the other side of the coil and see if it then works, then you'll have to trace that wire out

Thanks venge,

The wire goes to the ECU input for anti/theft. I know it will work if I jumper the relay, I just don't understand the anti theft part of the equation and if I can do anything with this.

if you read there are two options one with antitheft , one without antitheft pin 33/or 35
you'll have to check the connectors and see where its hooked up , I'm noticing some differences in the trunk switch circuit with and without I'd check there as well
