There should be a relay for the windows in the fuse box...there is on the "late" 944s...

Remove the switches and clean the contact areas and I will bet they work.
This a common issue and most often solved by cleaning the gunk out. Dal

Check to see if the plug separated from the window switches . If either side is out the windows wont work.

Power window relay is under the dash right above the gas pedal.
Check this thread: Pelican oldy-924 newbie - Elec Window? Thread is still on the opening page. Pays to keep tabs on what is being posted.

Knowing where the window relay is located is one of the secret hand shakes.
