It is possible the driver's door control module has gone bad, especially if you recently had a broken window regulator in any of the other doors (the cable mechanism that makes your windows go up & down) . My passenger front window regulator mechanism failed and took out my driver's door control module in my 2000 Bonneville. Lost ability to control front passenger and rear door windows, all locking, and the interior lights wouldn't come on when door opened, and radio would not shut off. The driver's door module acts as the master controller of the other three door modules which as indicated by the other comments all "talk" to each other. Spent $150 for someone to diagnose that they could not communicate with that module, but they wanted $1150 to replace it as the local dealer wanted about $800 for the part. Online GM sellers wanted over $400 for it. Found a used one on ebay for $25 from a wrecking yard and it solved the problem. Easy to replace myself, just two nuts and four plugs to pull out and put in on the replacement.

I have power but none of the window go up or down

If you have power to the master switch, the switch it self could be bad. Usually the drivers window is the first to quit. the others work. If none are working, the window lock could be set or broken also. Stat with the drivers door window and manually apply power to the window motor. If it works fine replace the master switch

My 2001 Bonneville only 1 window works the drivers side. I know all the motors are good . What could it be?

Terrell, some of the wires may be pinched or may have broken over time in the bundle of wires that go through the driver side pillar and into door from constant flexing of opening and closing door. I believe the master switch on drivers door is where the power gets sent to the other window controls. In the links below, some talk about moisture getting inside the plug to a controller for the windows. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Jaguar s type 2001 driver window master control not working lights off,but windows work individually on each door

Replace or repair the bad/loose connection on the "Master" switch.
It could be severely difficult, if so take to a reputable Mechanic Shop.

The passenger side window and rear windows will not work is there a fuse for the lockout switch

No, there isn't a separate fuse. If the driver's master control works and the lockout is disabled - then chances are that the master control switch needs to be replaced. All of the axillary switches run through the driver's master switch.

Driver rear window does not work

this is kinda expensive. however it can start cheap if you know what you doing. with my mustang i did it in 3 steps to pinpoint the prob. first i checked motor. i took the regulater off and checked the motor itself. then put the reg back on and checked again with a voltmeter. moved up to the switch and check that out with a volt meter. the volt meter said it was getting power to go down but not up. there for i paid the $12 for a new switch. try this process and see if it works for you. good luck bro.

No power to passenger doors or locks

Double press and hold the entry button to reset all doors to open. The key fob as set itself to driver door only by the sounds of it.
Take the battery out and leave a few minutes, then insert and pair. ( driver door open )

Major power window problems. 2000 pontiac bonneville

I had this problem where only the drivers door power equipment works.

It is caused by a splice under the driver's seat. Spice #S302 where the input from the drivers door module to the other door modules connects. It is one of those cheap *** splice that should be outlawed. Moisture gets in it and corrodes. Cut back the wires till you get the good stuff and redo it the right way.

Splice S302 can be found under the carpet about six inches before where the wires go up to the drivers seat. It is in a plastic wrap and tape. I believe the wires for the window are brown and white.
