Default Power windows don't work, Fixed!

After 3 years of no power windows. AC compressor went, due to over charging. AC compressor just stays on & sounds like it has a hole in it. but no leaks in the AC lines. Anyways I wanted to be Mr. Fix it & give them Power Windows a shot. They work now. I got the Chassis Schematics for the door locks & power windows & I made them in high resolution 9600x12800 so that when printed it should be really sharp TEXT on Laser! power windows work how they should, both switches work on both sides. The Door lock switch started working too with the windows, but still power lock don't work on driver side. I checked the driver door lock switch & it has power. so maybe need a new switch? but i switched the switches & both don't work, maybe it don't work that way? Maybe need a driver side switch in order to work? I don't know.

How I got the power windows to work is I rewired a wire from a 12v source to the Light Blue/Black going into the driver side switch, it was really easy to get too, just my removing the driver kick cover panel. But after I wired that up the driver side window will not go down only up passenger window worked up & down. so I cut the Tan/Light Blue wire coming from the driver switch & I cut the Orange/White wire coming from the window motor & I just connected them both. Presto both power windows work! I totally bypassed the gem module, I think all the GEM does for the window is work the Auto One Touch Down on the driver side window.

I just need to fix the Driver side door locks now... Maybe I should see if a new switch will fix the problem.
