Drivers side window controls not working!!!

Hey fellas...2000 f150 4x4. Window control on the drivers side will not work either driverside or pass side. But i can operated the pas side window from the pass side. I checked the fuses...all good. I just bought a new switch...that was not it either. Do you guys think i have a short?

Pull the switch panel, and check the driver's side switch for power on the Light Blue w/ Black stripe wire with the key in the accessory or run position.

If the switch does not work, chances are it is an open not a short

"Open" as in broken wire or a connection has come loose.

Short is where the power is grounding out.

You need to check the Light Blue w/ Black stripe wire, not a blue wire.
