2009 Patriot power windows not working

I am working on my mother in laws 2009 Patriot. Her power windows stopped working completely. I checked all the fuses which looked ok, even though none were marked as being for the power windows. I then took the door panel off and found the Pink/Brown wire that the wiring diagram lists as coming from the IGN SW OUT. It did not have 12V on it when measured with my meter. I created a small jumper wire and came off the power mirror switch and the windows started working. It makes me believe there is a short in the wire somewhere or maybe there is a relay that is bad.
Does anyone know if the power windows use a relay, and if so, where the relay is?
I have attached the wiring diagram I found on the internet.

That's the thing with the totally integrated power module. It's a black box of power.

Does the front passenger work? It gets the same power and is locked out with a trigger from driver.

So if the driver lockout isn't enabled, front passenger should work if the break is after the splice.
Yoi may have to pull the tipm and measure back there.

Thank you all for your help. I figured it out. The wire was broken inside the boot that goes from the door to the car (right below the door hinges).
I figured it out by putting a meter between the TIPM and the door panel switch.
Once I saw there was a break, I started testing individual segments, (TIPM to door boot, door boot to switch). I ended up splicing in a new wire and it is working now.
For those who want to know, I took a photo of the bottom of the TIPM and the door switch and circled the 12V power lead. It is the Pink/Brown wire. It runs from the switch all the way to the TIPM.
