This for power windows. It has power window circuit breaker. When problem is ongoing, use a test lite and check for voltage at circuit breaker, key on. On the hinge side of driver door, should be a wiring harness, probably has a protective rubber boot cover. Pull the boot back far enough to get at wire colors. for the power windows, the brown wire is voltage, the black wire is ground, check them both when problem is ongoing. If all three components use ignition feed to operate, meaning circuit goes hot when you turn on the key. You may need to check feed to and from ignition switch when problem is ongoing. Intermittent issues can be a pain to track, always test when problem is ongoing. Just my opinion.
