OE electric windows should only work with the ignition on OR with the front doors open.
If they work with the doors open, but not the ignition on, check fuse 17, and if this is OK, unplug relay K6 in the fusebox (marked on lid), and link together pins 30 and 87 of the socket with a short piece of wire. If this makes them work, post on this forum again.
