Default My windows and cruise don't work

Is the first thing to check: Fuses?

NONE OF the windows work, from any control. Power windows. 94 Tahoe LT. Also, cruise does not function.

Since Dash was apart, I suspect something either disconnected or left unplugged.. please help me on a step-by-step, proper, dig of these issues that MAY BE related.

Where I am at: ALL of my power windows are 100% dead and I checked the fuse...

Ok I almost got the driver door panel off, doing my best to break only the "Christmas Tree" clips.

So far so good.

Have you tested the other windows with their own switch, or have you only tried the drivers switch for all windows?
Have you checked for power at the motor, or just the switch?

I'm doing the best I can, proud of myself I watched other videos for a method that got the door off in a relatively simple way I wasn't seeing when I first looked...

I am questioning the power output of the switch, unless I am doing it wrong.

I am holding the lead on the negative (black) wire, and touching the other 8 connections, 0V seems to be the result. (It is my understanding that with a digital multimeter, polarity doesn't exactly matter, worst that can happen is a negative reading of the same number.)


The jumper cable thing was also an attempt at creating "ground."

Sorry for the delay in reply.

I would bet its the switch.
Do you still have your other Blazer available to you? Swap switches.

The odds of all 4 motors being bad are very, very, very, very, VERY slim

I'm sort of wondering whythe guy didn't just keep old Blazer around for another week or so. The old one has already donated its left side sockets, WOULD have donated switch, and linkage.

This is where I am at so far.

I wonder if the Chevy dealer will have an OEM switch, for a reasonable price.

In any case, I am about to find out, and get a switch, of any kind...

From my Youtube video (my other Youtube video

ur making it so dam hard. put the phone down, take the connector off the motor itself and check for voltage at the motor connector key on and switch upper LEFT depressed. the upper left is the driver side. no voltage = wiring. if you get 12 volts or close then its the motor. simple as that. takes 2 minutes.
