Default 78 p/w relay?

I'm trying to find the power window relay on my '78 hardtop. The passenger window hasn't worked in awhile. Got a new motor for it and it still isn't working. There is no power to the switch. Previous owner ran a dummy switch to the driver window but I'm trying to get it back to the way it's supposed to be. Any help on where it's located would be great.

It's held on with 2 screws to the pedal brace & located just behind the speedometer,as I recall.

Check to make sure that your wiring hasn't been hacked & the FAT orange wire (P/W window feed) is still plugged into fuse block.

Generally,you will find a switch/wiring problem.

There are some pictures over at www.nastyz28.com. From what I remember to the right of the steering column, towards the ashtray area.

My 79's relay is up on the top right side of the column support, under the dash. Not an easy place to get to, since I had to get down on the floor to reach up to it. Here's a posting at TAC about the power window relay: http://transamcountry.com/community/...?topic=20807.0
