Is this the answer to my question? It's not clear, and it may be very important.

Window update

I have power to drivers door and passenger window switches. Hooked a meter to the motor leads and can watch power go positive and negative. Put 12vdc direct to motor and window goes up and down. Hooked connector to motor and it wont move with either switch. HELP

Again, to be clear. Is the only window that works is the front left window, which operates from the master switch. No other windows work from any switch?

I have purchased all new from GM window switches( drivers and 3 others).
Only window that moves from the drivers switch is the drivers. The other 3 switches click from the driver's and at each door.
I put direct power to drivers rear motor and it moves.
Checked power lead to motor and voltage switches + - at 12vdc.
Plugged in motor, moved switch motor dont move.

Have you read the previous 25 posts? I'm getting the feeling you only read 1 page.
I posted a wiring diagram earlier, which explains why the power an ground at each switch would be good an they still don't operate.
In some of your descriptions you describe the lockout feature. It seems to change. Maybe typing in complete sentences and paragraphs would help us understand; I am too old to understand "text speak".

I’m still thinking ground wires loose and or damaged.
Can you confirm you have replaced the

Drivers door switch cluster?
the other 3 door window switches?

did you clean the contacts in the old switches
