Do you have a sunroof if so try opening it unable to check the power window circuit breaker behind right side of dash on right door opening You should have power on the yellow wire on the master switch wiring harness, no power there were right back to the breaker. Power there master switch

How about the yellow wire on the wiring connector on the master switch does it have power?

If the master switch is properly grounded then you have an open circuit between the switch and the circuit breaker 30amp-use the diagram to trace it

The yellow wire is suppose to have power at all times at the master switch wiring connector. Earlier you stated that there's no power at the switch, get somebody that has an electrical experience to help you this can be a nightmare
