Greetings! My son has a 2014 Nissan Altima and the power windows just stopped working. We checked the fuses and they are fine any suggestions would be madly appreciated! Thank you~

The BCM controls that function.

> If your BCM malfunctions, you will notice a negative effect on the operation of your vehicle. Watch out for these symptoms.

No accident history or repairs. The sun roof works, the door locks do not.

3 years old car…  
it seems to be too new to fail from the age, but too old to fail from the initial manufacturing defects…  
it is supposed to be on quite trouble-free plateau at this age…

both functions are controlled by BCM as @Tester pointed, so somebody with the electronics defects troubleshooting should investigate, as without physical work on the vehicle circuitry we will not be able to identify the root cause over the internet

Thank you. I was wrong, it’s a 2014. Sounds like that is probably the issue. Drat, looks like an expensive part. Thank you both again.
