What's this relay for?

Hi,
I have a 1994 Xantia 1.9TD SX and I was wondering if anyone knew if the relay at the bottom of the fuse box under the dashboard is related to the rear electric windows? The problem is that my rear windows do not operate, there isn't any blown fuses but the contacts on the relay mentioned above look burnt. The haynes manual suggests that there are a couple of relays in the rear window circuit but it does not say where they are located (surprise, surprise).
Any idea's?
Thanks

There are two relays for the windows going by the good book, one is common to both front and rear windows, the other is solely to disable the rear window door switches via the inhibitor switch on the dash.
I identified the position of the inhibitor relay by looking at the numbers printed on the wires going to the inhibitor switch, and simlpy looked which relay those wire numbers went to, bingo.
