Default 1981 vette power window switch

Hi guys. Been a very long time. I'm back with a 1981 Corvette I recently purchased. I have a problem
.Both power windows worked when I bought 4 weeks ago, now only driver side works. I can't find any power going to the switch. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the info. First let me say it is a lot easier if the bulb in the tester is working. Got another tester and things look a little different.The switch in the console are getting power.I will take off door panel and go from there.Thanks for your replies.
