The driver door window module/switch contains both the power and the ground distribution for ALL the windows. Inside the door sock(black rubber slinky between door and jam) you will more than likely find 1 if not 2 broken wires and I would not be at all surprised if the 16 guage black wire was broken. The other is the orange with red strip(don't know why but those two seem to always be the ones I find) Give it try.

Thanks for the tip. I had a yellow wire in the sock that was broke. I spliced it back together and now all my windows work but the ds rear. That must be a seperate issue.Maybe the switch.
