Default Power Windows Not Working

Hey guys, I took off my power window controls to do some mods on the moldings around them, and when I put them back on, the switches for all the doors except the driver's door don't work. The drivers door can make all the windows go up and down, but the others dont work. The passenger side door which has the power locks button on it, the locks button works, but not the window. Is there some fuse I should check? Anyone have any ideas? I've never encountered this before...Thanks

rip all the panels back off and see if you broke the little tabs off of the harness if you did, you will need to some how tape them back together. if not than pull the switch from the door and double check to see if windows work

I already checked the harnesses, all are ok; I am very careful when I take off a wire connector. They're all plugged in all the way, but nothing is coming up, which is why I wondered if there was some fuse I was missing to check, or if I need to just like disconnect my - battery terminal then reconnect it, kind of reset things.

It's not a fuse, because if your drivers side switch works, then the power windows fuse is fine. If all you did was unplug the harnesses, do whatever, then plug them back in and now they dont work.. either you are pinching wires somewhere, you are plugging them in wrong/not all the way, or you broke a wire or a connector somewhere accidently, in which case you'll have to repair or replace the whole harness.

Hey, Jimmy, relax, stuff like this happens to all of us one time or another. Admit it, it's a big relief that everything is working again. Been there, done that.
