I have a 94 Honda Civic Hatchback and I just installed power windows. The PS Window will not move when I use either switches. I tested the output of each switch and I am getting voltage on both wires all the way to the motor. I took power directly from the battery and the window moves up and down with no problems. Any ideas?

Are you getting a good earth on the wires as they switch up to down?

I havent tested but I would assume it is good with the DS working and the wiring diagram shows it going through the DS Switch for ground

Wow, I didnt realize the controls for the passenger side were a completely different circuit after testing some more I have continuity from my good ground to the switch. I also have voltage going from the PS switch to the DS Master Switch on both wires going to the motor. Im starting to believe there is something wrong with the Master Switch on the PS Switch considering the DS works fine.

Clarification on that since I just reread that and it sounds off the DS switch is the problem Im coming to but only on the controls for the PS window

The master switch may well be the problem, as i have had similar problems with Toyota's worth looking into.
