Does is work from the drivers side? If so my guess is you have a bad master switch. Either try and get another from the junk yard or there is a write up on a bypass or something like that with a paper clip somewhere here on the site.

It only take a couple of mins to do. The thing that took me the longest time was getting the damn panel back on. I have a bad back and I had hell of a time getting the one nut back in place since I really couldn't get under the dash to line it up. Had to do it all by feel.
