    Update: I figured out the issue with the windows. The window motors were in a bag in the trunk. I pulled the door panel off and plugged in a motor. The switch worked one way but not the other. So the motor works. I pulled the switch apart and realized that GM used the same switch assembly as was on an old 97 Chevy Malibu I once had. I immediately knew the problem. The contacts under the switch actuator get very dirty. I cleaned them well and it worked perfectly.

    Now I need to do the passenger side.

    So, some progress.

    ??? Lol, that's about the wierdest thing I've seen in a while. Why the hell would someone bother to pull the motors and not test things???

    While you have the door panels off and access to the regulator slap some grease on it. Can't hurt to lube up what you can see. Will help them live longer once you get the windows working again.
