Default driver side window won't roll down

I have a 2003 base corvette w/memory pkg. The master door switch does not work, but the passenger window switch is working. I replaced the master switch thinking that was the problem but it still wont work. The master switch will not light up but the pass. will. Could it be a relay? If so where is it located? I looked on the fuse panels but did not see anything that said locks or window switch. Any suggestions? Please help! Thanks!

If the lights don't work and the master switches don't work power likely isn't getting to the master switch. Which comes through the driver door module. The DDM is fed power by 2 fuses in the passenger footwell fuse center. Fuse 33 "DCM-L" and fuse 34 "PWRFDL". I'd check there first.

Found problem. It is in the wiring in the door jam cover. Would I need to take off door to get to it or what?

The accordion cover pops off and you can pull the harness from the body side and access the connectors and extra slack. Repair any breaks, cover any bare wires, and unplug the connectors and clean with a good contact cleaner and plug back. If that doesn't do it you may have a break in a wire under the insulation.
