My front power windows do not work, the rear are fine. I cannot open them from any switch (driver or passenger). They both stopped working at the same time so this leads me to believe it is not a motor problem (i may be wrong) and since the rear are still working this leads me to believe it may not be a fuse problem )again may be wrong), all thou I have been told about some circuit breakers, I checked these with multi-meter and seem to have continuity between prongs. Any suggestions? I would appreciate any. Thanks

Use your multimeter to check for voltage at the switch. Wiring sometimes breaks between door and frame inside that rubber conduit, what with aging insulation, combined with frequent stress of opening and shutting the door. I've had multiple breaks there, sometimes between switch and window.

Thank you for your response I will try that, one question. If the driver side wire is broke in the door boot do you think it would effect both doors, reason being is they both stopped working at the same time. Thanks again and have a great day.

Yeah, it's a bit suspicious that they stopped at the same time. I took another look at the wiring diagram, and the two front windows don't seem to share any circuitry that isn't shared by all the windows, unless it's in the master switch, which is why I suggested checking it first.
