Ok first I need to know if you have a digital multi meter and if you are up to doing some tests? I will look up the wiring diagram and we will check the window switches and relays and the electical part of the ignition switch first. Get back to me and we will go from there.

OK but with out a digital multi meter and doing some tests I can tell you what is wrong as it would be a guess. It could be a circuit breaker the window, window switch or GEM Module or a relay in the circuit to many possibilities so testing would be needed to pin the problem down.
