The driver's window suddenly stopped operating, as if it had no power at all?

All the other functions and windows operate normally from the driver's side. I eliminated the regular motor and the wiring as being the problem--I even replaced that part of the wire harness in case it was a wire problem I wasn't able to detect somehow, and with the new wiring, the problem was unchanged.

Nothing else occurs to me that it could be, and my next move was simply to replace the control switch and see if that does it. I'm at a loss. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yep, you are on it, the master window switch sounds bad and is a common failure, I would get a new one and swap it out which should fix the problem. Here is how. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Well, I need another idea, it wasn't the switch. I have no idea what to check now.

Sorry about that, I should have had you check the fuses first, there are 9 fuses that run the system. Here is a guide to help and I have included the window system wiring diagrams so you can see which fuses to check and how the system works.

Please check the fuses with the system on. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.
