Default Driverside window controls not working

The four window switches are not working but the side view mirrior switch is. Passenger window switches are fine. I disconnected the battery atempting to reset the control module as I read in a thread, no luck. Any ideas?
Broken wire?

Thanks in advance.

You can try doing the same with the control module in the door. Sometimes just doing the battery isn't enough.

I am more suspect you'll just need to pull the switch pack and review the connections.

Default Module disconnected

Module disconnected and reinstalled, No Change.
Looked for broken wires. is there somewhere specific to look? Would a single wire break effect all four windows?

New module time?

If your rockers are working on the other doors, its most likely the rocker panel for that door. Depending on how handy you are, you may be able to break it down and find the issue or get someone to meter it out for you.

When I worked at the dealer I used to HATE when people would take their brand new car to get the windows 'tinted'.
The tint shop would use water and a squeegee to apply the film but they also got the window lift switchpack WET and destroy it.

People leaving the window down in the rain will also result in damage to the switchpack.

Probably just need to replace it?

I read this thread and this part is going over my head. What is the part rocker in a door? I keep thinking about the rocker panels underneath the door that’s what comes up when I goolgel it thanks

The "rockers" are referring to the window four switch control pack in the driver side door. Sorry for the confusion.
