Default c5 Corvette Convertible Driver window problem

Hi all. I did get the HVAC fixed. I am almost GM certified in C5 HVAC.
Now to tackle the drives window. I noticed the drivers side window some times won't go down, and when bring the window up, there is a slight crunch noise. I also notice the window doesn't seal. Looks also like the prevues owner had someone go in and out of there as the window switch had a break, small tear in tint.
So I order a new regulator, and switch. After install new regulator and switch, with the window went up, and now it won't come down. Like the old stuff did. Also notice my drivers door lock doesn't work with switch. Passenger yes, driver no. The key fob never worked.
When I try drivers window down, I hear relay click in the DDM, but no movement. Not sure how to test it, but there are 2 wires going to the regulator motor, Blue, and Brown. When I push window up, Blue wire gets DC, When I push window down, Brown, nor Blue gets DC Current. Not sure, but I am Guessing the DDM on driver side internal relay went bad.
Any advice?
