Window motors on each of the 3 doors have been "hot wired " and shown to work in up and down functions. Two of the switches have been replaced. Door switch on drivers side and rear door switch also drivers side. Any experienced persons can give me a hint as to the problem when the fuses are also good and power is at each switch.?
Is maybe a gorund problem ?

well...it could be one of a few problems...or in strange circumstances, one or more problems...you could have a short in the system, or, if the only way that does not work is the driverside toggle button, then it could be a bad switch panel. My dad had the same problem in his 95 chevy, and if i remember right, they are both GM vehicles, so most of the schematics and wiring are the same...other than that...i really dont know...im just speakin from experience...take it to a technician to have it checked out...Im a diesel technician. Dont take it to the autozone "mechanics" because they really have no clue what the hell they are doing.

sounds like you have a loose wire somewhere in your window system and doesnt always make contact. best way to narrow it down is to pull all your switches out just enough to where you can get a test light on the terminals of the connection right at the switch. press the button in the up and down position and test the circuit and see if you have power. if you dont have power going to more than 1 switch, chances are that its not the switches. just trace the wiring back and any opening in wires you get along the way up, test to see if you have power there. after awhile, you will most likely find a burnt wire and then repair.

chasing wiring problems are the least fun of car repair. trust me

the driving force's part controls are the grasp controls for those form setups. the potential to the passenger part runs interior the path of the drivers part first. there is generally a cutout activate the driving force's part that "locks" all the different abode windows. If this lock swap is undesirable, it is going to reason your difficulty. simply by fact the twine from the driving force's part to the passenger part is rather long, the possibilities of the twine itself being undesirable are notably sturdy. it may desire to be shorted someplace interior the twine. The activate the passenger part is a sturdy place to start up. examine to work out if it even has potential earlier getting too excited approximately something. If there is potential to the swap, then the swap is obviously undesirable. If there is not any potential to the swap then examine to work out if there is potential to the cutout swap. If there is potential to the cutout swap, examine the output fringe of the cutout, with it interior the "unlocked" place. If the output part has potential, then you definately be attentive to the difficulty is between there and the different part. Do a continuity examine between the cutout swap and the passenger door, and replace the twine if it would not examine sturdy.

Sounds like the master switch needs to be replaced.
