The car listed above is a GT. The driver's window will not work, good window motor and switch. However, it will work if I straight wire it.

What happens on these is the wiring between the door and the door jamb ends up breaking. here is a guide to help you test the wiring to confirm the problem and the window wiring diagram so you can see how the system works and which wires to test.

See if you are getting power to the light blue/black wire at the switch with the key on. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
