Driver window worked fine yesterday, come out this morning and no response from pressing/holding the window button. My first guess is it's electrical because it doesn't even sound like the window motor is even trying to move.

Am I looking at changing out a switch, button, or fuse somewhere?

Get a dvom and check voltage at the switch and the window regulator. If voltage is there but theres no movement, you might have to replace the window regulator

Picked up an entire window regulator assembly with motor, swapped it, and the driver side window still isn't working. It's the only window that's not working. Any other ideas?

Switch. Common problem. Did it rain the night it went bad. Check your sunroof drains. Water will leak into the switch. Drivers window always fails first.

No, I'm not sure what that is.

Unfortunately I don't have a sunroof. It's only the driver side window switch, all the other switches on the driver side work.

I pulled the switch the entire piece out that holds all the driver door switches and took it apart. The switches themselves aren't anything but plastic and that part moves and functions. So is it the computer board that's underneath the switches?
