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.

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..
