Default power windows

Can anyone help? I am reinstalling my door panels, when I hook-up the wire connectors to the switch on the door panel and turn the key ignition on the window on the passengers side doesn't work...do not know if the drivers side works....have not got that far yet....these are the only wires I am connecting.....do I have to have all of the wires for all of the connectors plugged in? What am I missing????? I stuck a voltmeter on the connector plugs for the window motor and there is nothing....

Last year my passanger side window stopped working also. I was going to order a new switch, but couldn't find one cheap. So, I took the switch apart and noticed that the connectors inside the switch were covered with some dirt and rust. I cleaned them all and the window works fine now. I did the same thing on the driver's side. It's pretty simple to take the swich apart and clean it.

The Passenger Side Power Window Switch (in the Center Console) is actually the first item I replaced when I bought my car. Got one at a used Corvette parts place. Less than $15 as I recall. Didn't even have to remove the Console to replace it.

From his username it looks like he has a 93, so the switch would be on the door, and for my 96 it was way more the $15.
