Is the relay part of the ECU or can it be replaced seperately ? Is the
relay bad ?

Are the relays part of the ECU or can they be replaced seperately ?

OK. Get a multimeter and a wiring digram. Disconnect the wiring to the
window motor and check for power and ground, at the connector, as you
operate the switch. Power and ground should swap wires from window up vs.
window down. Find out what is missing (power/ ground) when the window won't
go down and follow the wiring back until you find the problem.
