Thank you -- thank you
You guys saved my life. All four windows were DEAD. It turns out they all use the same ground wire that runs through the driver's door arm-rest switch array. It's THE BLACK ONE.
It turns out that the wire was broken right in half at the door "snorkel" -- that flexible rubber tube that goes from the door to the car body.
Rather than trying to mess with it there, sicne I already had the arm-rest / switch array open..... I just cut the black wire about four inches back from the door switch, and wired a six-inch jumper wire to the screw that holds the door panel onto the door.
Problem FIXED.
You guys are awesome. Thank you.
Pulled off driver side window switches- tested Blue/black wire (+) and used chassis for ground and got 12 volts.
Checked same blue/black wire (+) and used black wire (-) on back of window switch for ground and got 0 volts.
Open ground wire suspected...checked driver side door wiring grommet, found that black wire was pinched/ cut. Soldered wire back together, problem solved!
