Power windows not working properly

Hi,

I need to have a better understanding of which wires you are jumping to make them work. I attached two pics below of the entire power window wiring schematic. Take a look through it and let me know if you can identify which wires you are crossing.

I have to be honest, if power is in to the main switch (driver's side) but doesn't come out, it sounds like that is the problem. However, I just want to confirm before I make a recommendation. I hope you understand. The two pics below are from one page, but I cut it in half to make it more readable. Note that I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next.

Let me know.

It sounds like the module is the problem. It's odd that when you provide a ground (via your test light) the windows work. I wouldn't think that three would go bad at the same time so this is a bit confusing.

Go to the switches and check to see if you have continuity through the switch when they are disconnected and you actuate them. The way you described it, you are supplying a ground via your test light. However, the grounds for each window is at a different point, so it doesn't make sense that they would all fail.

Confirm the switches are good and getting power and let me know if this all happened at one time.

Let me know.

Okay, let me know what you find with the switches. Since you just got the car, there is no way of telling.

Let me know.

The thing that is confusing me is the idea that you are providing a ground with your test light. When you are checking, the test light is connected to the negative terminal on the battery, correct?

It would make better sense if you had the test light providing power to the circuits and not ground.

Let me know.
