Short hand is the passenger side never worked from the passenger switch. Only from driver side. Decided to pull everything apart to attempt to fix it and went from only driver side working to nothing working at all. Don't even have power at the switch now. Have power at the fuse block. Pulled the breaker and put in a fuse and still nothing. So far I've bought new motors, replaced regulators, glass, master switch. About ready to rip this shit out and convert to manual. Again the money pit sits.
 
Pop the lower panel and check that you are getting 12v at the motor connector when you use the driver/pass switch. If so then pinch the contacts together so that you get good contact. Just did went through this last night.
 
Windows are overrated. Just more stuff to clean bugs and snot off of. :astronaut:
 
C342 is a connector left hand side of fuse panel 3 cavities, Cavity C is the pink power wire that through before getting to the door.

It's in an access hole cutout in the car opposite where the ecm would be on the pass. side.

There's also a splice for the power to the pass. side after the circuit breaker before this connector it's in the cross dash harness and includes an orange wire for the sunroof option out of it.

Solid black wire on the master drivers side switch is ground, pink is +12 with KEY ON for testing.

I'd put the breaker back in and start from the fuse panel down if you don't have power on the pink wire at the master drivers side switch assy.
 
I can't remember but do I need to pull the ebrake assembly out to get to the harness connector?
 
I never messed with that side but from the looks of this picture you might have enough wire to avoid pulling the ebrake.

Diagram comes from shop manual. There isn't one for the RH door but you will be troubleshooting from the C342 and C343 connectors indicated in the previous picture. (Shop manual uses LH door as a guide and RH door should be similar if that makes sense) Here is the wiring diagram and the troubleshooting guides that should speed things up a bit for you.

After reading through the info I got a feeling whatever is causing the loss of power is the main cause of the switch problems. I'll start digging in tomorrow at the driver side connection by the kick panel.

I'll have a drink for you.
