Ok guys im really stumped here. The drivers window wont move up or down. So far i replaced the window switch, the window motor and regulator. I checked and power goes to everything. I cant figure out why the dang thing wont work. I checked all the fuses and no luck there either.

Pull the motor and just plug it in w/o being in the door. See if it works.

check for power behind the switches. It uses what is called a 5-wire reverse polarity system which is nice because it doesn't use relays(cheaper) but sucks because if there is a bad connection somewhere its pia to troubleshoot. Use a voltmeter and see if you have power on the back of them and if you get anything out when you push the buttons. Also check the voltage at the regulator.

Figured it out guys. I feel like such an idiot. I didnt realize for the window motor to work the door panel connector had to be attached to complete the circuit
