Default Power Window Question

I think the relay is bad for my driver's side window. I can hear it clicking somewhere under the dash when I operate the window switch. Does anyone know exactly where this goofy thing (relay) is located?
I took the door apart and got the window up. The motor is less than a year old. Through the process of elimination in the Haynes Manual it seems like the relay is what's keeping the window from working.

Blown 346 is right. Take it back if you can; because if it's the "motor" and not the relay and you have to change them youself, its a BITCH... <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> Both of my motors went out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> , I changed the driver side the other day and planning on doing the other side soon. And it Sucks ***. <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Do you still have warranty. Take it to the dealer and get it fixed.

Thanks guys.
The car has 47,000 miles on it so there is no warranty.
I already took the door apart and removed/replaced the motor so I could get the window back up. It's really no big deal. There are a few tricks, like using rubber door stops to keep the window glass from falling, that make it fairly simple.
What I need is the location of the relay so I can pull it and check it.

I have same problem, and I'm looking for that stupid relay also. I'll keep looking and if I find the damn thing, I'll post the location, appreciate it if you would do the same. Good luck.
