I pulled all the pins out of the connectors, cleaned and tried to bend them back to where they touch better. It still could be the connector but I have my doubts. And pulled the passenger side control module off and tried it on the driver side, with no luck. So I'm thinking it is the window switch itself. Is there a way to test if it is the switch?

You can probably buy new contacts and replace them all to eliminate the connectors as your problem with the window and door lock not working. Only way to test the switch is to disconnect and using a DMM to do a continuity check on the switch contacts.

I ended up just getting rid of that connector and soldered everything together so I removed that connection as a issue. I plugged in a tech2 and it doesn't seem like it can connect to the module. So I'm assuming that's the issue?

Update, I've been messing with the tech 2 and I'm getting no cummunication with the driver side module. I was thinking it was the module itself, so I plugged the driver module in to the passenger side door and it seemed to communicate with it. At least it raised the passenger side window up and down. So I'm thinking there is another wiring issue where the driver door isn't receiving signal from the bcm? Maybe a ground is the issue? It all started when I tried cleaning the connectors in the door so maybe I messed something up.
