Tried searching forum, but no hits on this.
Anyone know about the wiring to the driver side door control panel?
Drivers side windows do not work. Passengers side does. Drivers switch can
work the passengers side, front and back.
Neither windows on the driver side work.
I find it hard to believe both regulators have gone bad.
Power door locks do work.

Any help would be appreciated.

I bet water dripped in and got the switch wet for the two buttons on the
right side.

Check the switch.

Might be, but the power door lock, and remote mirror control switch still
work.
They are next to the switches in question.
I have not removed the switch assembly, as I am good at breaking the cover
bezel.
Was hoping for some info on wiring connections.

Saw a good post earlier that had a links to an Autozone page. Almost what I
was looking for, but it only showed info on the other three door controls,
not the driver assembly.

Your power windows are somewhat complex.  See the description below.  Your
driver's door module (DDM) may have bought the farm.  Also see the
diagnostic procedure further down.

Document ID# 533315
2000 Pontiac Bonneville
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power Windows Operation

Power Windows
The vehicle is equipped with power windows controlled by the door modules.
The DDM receives a window switch request, over the SBI serial data, from
either the passenger door module wired to the window switch pressed or from
the driver door switch assembly. The DDM checks the Class 2 serial data to
see if the status information is correct (i.e. ignition switch position) to
permit window operation.

If the status information to permit window operation is correct, the DDM
sends the command to the door module controlling the window to move the
window as requested.

Windows Power and Ground
The windows are powered by discreet power and ground circuits. These
circuits are in the same dedicated connector as the window motor drive
circuits.

So much for just switches.
I really do not trust car dealers to work on my cars, all seem like
salesmen.. Used car salesmen.
Looks like I have no choice on this one.
Thanks for the info.
Interesting stuff..

I noticed today, if ignition switch is on, and no other noises, if I move
drivers side window switch, I can hear a click noise. As if the motor is
bad.
What are the odds of two window motors going bad?

Can't give you the odds of both motors but when the drivers side window in
my wife's 98 Grand Prix GT went bad after it was just 2 years old, someone
at the dealership told me it was a very common problem.  Fortunately we
haven't lost a window motor since then.  I probably shouldn't have said
that, you know what going to happen next.
