Angry Help!!! All windows suddenly not working

Hello! This morning I tried to roll my powered window down and up again, and while doing so, it got stuck and stopped rolling up or down, so i tried to wiggle it while holding the button to raise it, and thats when all of my windows just stopped working like they used to a few minutes before. Now the window is completely stuck down along with all the other windows stuck up. and when i try to manually raise the window, it wont budge an inch. What couldve caused this? Did I fry all my window wiring? I looked at the fuses and none of them seemed to be blown or anything, any ideas?

There is a fuse in the fuse panel next to your left knee for the windows. (on a 240) If you try to activate all of them at the same time or one takes too much current - the fuse blows. The fuse could be blown or have a bad connection on the ends - not just open in the middle, so rather than just look, remove and inspect the ends of the fuses also.

I've gotten to check the window fuse but everything looks pristine, even all the other fuses in the fusebox, and no disconnections and the ends look totally fine. Do you think there could be any other issue affecting the windows? Thanks for the help!

Fuse 10 should be a red 16A fuse and powers the window motors.

Fuse 12 should be a white 8A fuse and powers the WINDOW RELAY. (according to a diagram I found online.) The window relay is located slightly below the center air vents - up and down power lock relays are there also.

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting replacing your relay. I'd recommend diagnosing what the problem is with your $4 test light from harbor freight first - BEFORE replacing parts that are not bad. A correct diagnosis is usually much cheaper than guess, replace, cuss, guess, replace, get more frustrated and poorer - you get the idea (I hope)

Do you have 12v at the blue/yellow wire on fuse 12 in the fusebox with the key on? Do you have 12v at the brown wire on fuse 10 all the time? If so do you have power to the red wire on the (looks like any switch) master window switch with the key on?
