There's a control box under the top dash, you can find it by following the switch wires. These are prone to failure due to a week track on the circuit board. This would be my first port of call. If you find that it is looking scorched at one of the crimp terminals then I suggest this will be the problem. Easy to fix if you can solder. All you need to do is solder a wire to bypass the circuit board track
