None of the power window are working, I have checked the fuse and connections as I can. Seems to be power at the window motor on the drivers door but I am not getting any of the windows to opperate. The power door locks are also not working. I did try a new ( used ) but different master power assy at the door. Made no diff. I also tried to do direct power to the window motor with no change. I can not find a manual for this car or any thing even close to a schematic for the wiring. I am not even sure where power should be or?

First check for broken or frayed wires between the door hinges. You may have 12 volts getting to the driver's motor, (which should only be there when a switch is activated), but you need ground too. The ground wire between the door hinges is usually common to all the windows. The clue is the other three windows won't work from their door switches either.

You can find an online service manual for your vehicle by going to the top of this page, pointing to "Repair and Service", then click on "Manuals". That will take you to a site where you can buy a subscription for your specific vehicle. It includes all the stuff from the manufacturer's service manual, plus recall notices, service bulletins, and other information.
