Default Driver Window no power

I've got another thread under that's mainly about getting my 97 vette to stay running but I figured I would make a new one for this issue since it's about the driver window. C5 diag, mmartinez, and a few others have been helping me on it so thanks a bunch to them!. So this is what I have going on. My driver side door isn't working at all. No unlock, no mirrors, and no windows. So with all the problems I was having with the connectors in the door jam I ended up just getting rid of the connectors entirely, and soldering them together. Might not have been a smart move but I'll deal with that down the road. I just wanted to be sure that wasn't the issue. I hooked up a tech2 and im not able to connect to the module. I can raise and lower the pasenger side with the tech 2 but nothing on the driver. So I grabbed the passenger side module and stuck it on the driver side and still no connection with the tech 2. So that lead me to believe it was a wiring issue since it didn't travel with the module. I replaced the switch since it needed to be replaced anyway just to rule that out as well. I cleaned the ground in the lower kick panel of the driver side and used some deoxit on them to just help them out. I've checked with a light to see if any of the connectors to the module are hot and the only one that lit up was this one on the black connector.

I am probably and idiot.... no definitely an idiot so it's probably staring me in the face but any help would be appreciated. Still learning all this stuff. Thanks a bunch!

Maybe it's the driver's switch? Does it light up?

I replaced the switch because it was in rough shape anyway and hoped it would fix it. But no even the new switch doesn't light up.
