Windows were at first intermittent
then all quit working
then pass side went down and wouldn't go back up
replaced the pass regulator
replaced the pass switch
nothing has changed except the pass window now stays open where the regulator was installed

Have you checked to see if you have power to the main switch on the drivers door and power thru the switch when operating the switches?The wires going thru the wire boots to door are known for breaking from years of opening and closing the door.

There is a POWER WINDOW CIRCUIT BREAKER on the left kick panel.
Check to see if it has power on the PNK/YEL and WHT/PNK wires with the ignition switch ON.

I took the drivers side window switch out, it wasn't attached the plastic housing on the switch had broken off and the plug wasn't in. Hoping that it was as simple as that, I plugged it back in. But, that wasn't it. So, I checked to see if there was power to the switch. There is power to the switch. Should I replace the master switch?

I checked the POWER WINDOW CIRCUIT BREAKER on the left kick panel.
I Checked to see if it had power on the PNK/YEL and WHT/PNK wires with the ignition switch ON and they both did if I read it correctly. When you say PNK/yel you are referring to a pink wire with a yellow streak through it?
Thanks

so I am saying yes, they both had power to them.

On the master switch with the key in the run position the white wire pink stripe should have power. Then black wire with a brown stripe should have 2 ohms or less to ground. In the up position drivers window switch orange wire with light green stripe should have power. Drivers window switch in the down position orange wire with a white stripe should have power.
