Left front side Master power door switch not working?

I have a 2003 Sierra and ended up swapping doors to 2000 doors due to damage. I have tested the switches and have figured all wiring except controlling the right side (passenger side) from the driver side master switch. I have tested the switch tan wire #167 and light blue #166 and I do not get any flow power from either. So, either I have a bad switch or I'm doing something wrong.

Here's how I'm testing, running 12v:
power supply to the green and orange wires. All black wires are grounded. Voltmeter connected to the same ground. Positive voltmeter is connected to the wire that is supposed to be providing power based on the position of the switch. Both up and down wires on the driver side tested good, but not the passenger switch. Does the passenger side switch on the driver side provide ground and not power? That would make sense if there's a relay before the driver side motor and the relay would be the one to supply the power when activated, but I'm just guessing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm not completely sure I understand what is happening. Since we are dealing with two different model years, I looked up the wiring schematics for both vehicles.

The first two pics are for the 2003 Sierra. Pics 3 and 4 are for a 2000 Silverado. Just looking at them, they appear a good bit different.

Take a look through them and let me know if they help. Not being there and having two different things being put together to make one is really hard to do without things in front of you. LOL I hope you understand.

Let me know.

Joe

See pics below. Note: I had to cut each schematic in half to make them readable for you. I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next.

Thank you, yes this is helpful. The reason all these diagrams are needed is to help determine the corresponding from the doors to the wires in the chassis. The color of wires may differ, but the functionality remains the same relatively speaking. I tested my the passenger window from the driver side switch and confirmed my assumption, it is a negative relay trigger. Thank you for all your help, I greatly appreciate it.
