Power window wiring help needed

I have used the search feature and haven’t found what I’m looking for...

Would any of you be able to tell me which wire(s) in the loom for the drivers door are for the power windows?

My ‘95 XLT has issues... drivers window won’t operate either direction. Passenger window works from drivers door, but not the passenger door.

I tried replacing switches, but that didn’t fix the problem. Before I jump to concluding a bad motor on drivers door, I’m wondering if there’s a damaged wire. Just don’t know which I’m looking for.

Also, anyone have thoughts on the passenger side window? Works from drivers side but not on passenger side.

Thanks for your help!

This may sound dumb but try the drivers window with door closed and open and moving from full open to full closed but not latched. Do the same thing with passenger door and switch. If either door/window works while door open or moving back and forth you have a broken wire in the harness between the door and post inside the rubber bellows. Otherwise remove door panel to get to driver side window motor and jump it to be sure motor works. If motor works trace harness back from motor looking for break in wire OR run a new jumper wire and make sure you cut original wire to avoid a short or back feed.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll give this a try.
