Default Window power module under dash?????

Guys replaced my window motors everything is fine, but I have recently had the dash out and I have lost all power to both windows. A good friend showed me a wire schematic of the power windows and it looks like we are missing the module that goes under the dash? He sent power somehow to role the window down, but I need that module to make them function.

Has anyone every been down this road?
Where I can get the module at?

The express up/down module sits in a pocket molded in to a plastic cover on the center tunnel. (Under the dash on the driver's side.) It should only impact the driver's side, though.

More likely - make sure you are getting power to the switches on your driver's side. Power is routed through those switches out to both window circuits.

Is this a plug in plug out? I was told mine was unplugged and missing? Thing is I never cut anything out from under the dash.

How do I know if I am getting power to those?

Thanks

Yea, it plugs in to a flat-ish connector around an inch to an inch and a half wide. If you've ever had your express down feature working on your driver's window, then its probably there. Do you see the pocket on the side tunnel where the module should be stored? (I'll bet its there.)

Does your passenger side window work when you use the passenger side switch? Or are all the windows dead on all of the switches? If they are all dead - check your fuse/circuit breaker first. (Unless someone cut a wire under your dash, this is probably the issue.) If your fuse/circuit breaker is good, check to see if the brown wire going in to your window switches has power.
