I had a similar problem, but it was intermittent.

I discovered the problem, (by accident), was a break in the data cable from the window control computer module in the door to the BCM in the boot at the door hinge.

I purchased a wire harness on ebay, and the problem was repaired. It was a PITA to replace, so I would recommend buying a new one if you can. I guess I got lucky the used one was good.

well i finally found i have the same problem as you. while put the door harness back in place with the key on, i suddenly had relays click and lights on the buttons come. touch the window up and everything now works. it is in that cable. thanks for the info.
