Getting wound up by windows

Hand cranking your windows open and closed  is a massive pain in the bum and is surprisingly distracting, something you only really notice when you go back to them after years of button podging. Well I'm missing that little hand crank now as my windows remain stubbornly closed. It all started when I went out to my van to try and add a new key remote to my van as the range was terrible at best. I started the procedure and realized I needed the window open but when I tried to open it they wouldn't budge. Neither window wanted to move in fact so I had a poke about at the fuses which were fine. There was no relay click either which got me thinking that I might be missing a hidden fuse or some such malarkey but no joy. My next port of call was to hit everything with WD40 to push out any water ingress and clean the contacts on plugs. Again though I was greeted by silence from my window motors. I read my Haynes manual which wasn't very helpful and the forums were the us...
