Since all four window switches are dead then you most likely have a power problem. Since it sounds like you already checked the fuse I would get into the drivers door and see if you have power on the yellow wire into the window switch module.

You might ne able to lift the switch without removing the whole panel, might be worth a try.

The most tedious job was detaching and reattaching the switch terminals, which are pinned in by plastic lockers. I'll try to attach a pic that might save someone the time needed to figure it out.

Also if you want to test the window switch, note the power for it comes through the door lock switch, so that needs to be plugged in. For the door panel you'll need a 7mm socket and probably plastic door panel clips the number is GM 10153057.
